I think women going to college should carry guns

My experience with guns is that I was walking to class one day on a CC campus 4-5 years ago when about 30-40 feet in front of me a guy comes up and shoots his ex girlfriend in the head and then kills himself. I don't need or want any further experiences with guns.

Fair enough, don't carry one.

I understand what you are saying about the idea that people could mis-fire and more chaos might reign, but dang dude...you are advocating people just being sheep and having no means of protection. Pretty hard to take out a shooter with a can of mace...

When my daughter goes to college some day, I will definitely get her the pepper spray etc, and if she felt comfortable, I'd suggest a firearm. I don't believe in being a lemming and I sure as hell don't want my daughter to be one. My son too, for that matter.

Where did the guy from VT get his guns anyway?

Good luck, but the majority of college campuses restrict the presence of any firearms, whether you have a permit or not.

Better to be judged by twelve than carried by six.

True, but she won't always be on campus...and she might not live on campus. But I do think it's crap that a competent, law abiding citizen is not afforded the right to protect themselves from the law breaking psychos who might want them dead...for whatever reason. I don't care where it is, campus or workplace...
