Seems the locals around my college will use just about anything as a target to hone their shooting skills, weather it be the street signs around campus, or students on campus. Fortunately the homies rarely hit anything.
Frankly, i'm getting tired of my university not informing the students about close calls. Yesterday night, at about 2am, in the parking lot behind my dorm, Someone on the other side of I95 shot over the highway at a student (I95 is recessed at that point). Fortunately all the bullets missed. As far as we can tell this was a random act of violence as there is know way the shooter could have identified the kid from that distance.
I find this out, not from a university bullitin, but a campus safety officer i'm friendly with, who claims it happens more often than we think. It seems that the university decides not to report anything that doesn't result in a confirmed kill. The last confirmed kill never made it into the crime statistics because it was on a city street, and city streets aren't considered campus property. Screw the fact that it was in the 1/2 block between his dorm and the campus pub. This is standard practice with all colleges.
Anyway, i can't wait untill i'm 21 so i can get a CWP. In the mean time, it's never been more tempting to carry illegally, but i'll just stick with my knife and pepper spray, because unlike criminals, i'm not one to break the law.
