Virginia Tech - gun free zone. even the three school shootings this year in TN and AL were all gun free zones. You are ignorant. You dont want to carry a gun, fine. I dont care. Dont try to tell me i cant though; my self defense is my business. One thing you did get right though, having a gun doesnt mean you wont get shot or killed. This is nothing like the wild west, but i refuse to let myself or my family become a victim statistic. Ill do everything i can to protect them, and that includes places outside my home. If you agree the police only show up to clean up the after affects, who is left to stop or deter a murder/robbery/rape? Only the victim. And the best way to defend yourself from someone with a gun; equal or greater firepower.
Why do I have to be ignorant? I know all about protecting my fam, I never said guns should not be carried by law following people, I do have a problem with guns on college campuses, churches, bars and airports. That's just crazy, yeah you do have isolated instances where things happen, its on the police to step up to the security at colleges, make them earn their pay. As it stands now, campus police are nothing more than glorified security guards,have them conduct themselves like real police and it might help. I am all for carrying a gun for protection, shit I got a couple myself, but I don't think guns and schools should go together. Have you ever been in a crowded student union? I am uncomfortable with a gun being fired in crowded place full of young people. Off campus 2nd amendment to the fullest. Because if I send my daughter to a school, and she get shot by accident while on campus, I will try to kill the person responsible law abiding or not. And if I am not mistaken one of those GA Tech robberies was a situation where the robbers acted like would be renters, how can you see that coming?
