    Let's say the guy in the back row plans some **** out and brings a Colt to class. How many do you think he could pop off in say half that amount of time?
    What do you think the chances are that another student is able to stop him, even with a gun? It's one thing to say "yeah I would pop his ass" it's another thing to pull the trigger. If you aren't willing to squeeze you have just made the situation even more dangerous. The kids that does these things have surrender no where in their minds. Pulling a gun on them is only going to get you shot before the unarmed ones.

    It would be better then nothing. How can you force us to sit and hope he misses? Or that he walks away? It seems Tiger is saying that it will be a large gunfight. I don't see that happening but what I do see is what the news shows. Students dead on campus. Police could respond in 1 min and there already be 10 dead. If someone had a weapon, they would have at least a chance to survive. Sorry, but I won't sit and hope he leaves.

    that's something every individual should know before getting a permit and deciding to carry. bc fact of the matter is, if they're not ready to actually pull the trigger, then they probably won't draw their weapon in the situation you describe anyway.
