There should be no exemption to the ability of an adult to carry a concealed handgun on a college campus. I recognize instances where the exemption should be made, but this is not one of them.

What happens when someone with a concealed handgun appraises a situation as more dangerous than it is, and shoots someone? Or if said person flips out? I'm a gun owner, but I'd be happy if handguns were banned altogether in the U.S.

I would also add that school security is underfunded and therefore understaffed. On most college campuses, there are not police officers in every building, and if there are, only one or two. Also, even if there were more, I want the ability to defend myself. I feel I have that right, and if I am licensed to carry a concealed weapon, I should be able to.

This is no different than being licensed to carry a concealed weapon anywhere else.

At Southern it's even worse. There may be 1 cop for every 10 buildings were classes are going on at a time.

What would banning handguns do? It would take guns away from people that bought them legally and are registered. Its like marijuana being an illegal drug, doesnt make it go away.

Yes or No, have you ever stayed in a country where guns were outlawed?
