Utah college kids get armed

Here's a litmus test for the O'Club fun gun bunch. Utah students are all going start arming themselves when attending class. Let's see how this plays out...

As a graduate of the University of Utah, I gotta say I'm not pleased to know this going on.  

*sigh* what a world we live in.

From the link above:

Quote
"But you see, that is where the problem lies: Everybody will end up carrying concealed weapons, and everyday problems will be solved with guns rather than words or even fists."


The same kinds of things are said every time another State passes a CCW law. History just doesn't support this. The Utah universities have had no problems with CCW holders since 2006 when the state supreme court struck down the ban at public universities.

I dunno... just makes me nervous.  I'm not try'n to pick a gun debate fight today.  It's just sad.  It's sad that people people feel they need a gun to go to school.

Dynamite, if a gunman was loose on your campus, would you condemn the unarmed students to massacre?  Or would you want them to be able to defend themselves?  If guns aren't allowed, what do you think the chances are that the gunman will see the sign and think "Oh, this is a gun free zone, I guess I'll go shoot up a different school"?

WTFH!?

gunz in utah!?

i know its one of the whitest states in the union, but..but..they are mostly mormons.

they cant even have sex without getting married first.
they have the temple there.

If anything mormons should be arming themselfs once they step out of utah.
(for all those missions they like to do)

If you think they are going to have shoot outs between classes you're a dolt.

Umm.... what?

The map you link to shows that two states that have legislation, Utah and Colorado. And even there, UC-Boulder is an exception. Other states have legislation pending, but the majority do not.

I'm afraid that's just wrong.

If a student on campus kills another student with a gun in the next couple of years, are we free to come back here and rub your face in that quote?

Only if it takes place more then one time and the gun was legal.  I am not worried about it.

This arguement annoys the hell out of me, especially coming from old men who'm have been out of college for decades, if they even went at all...

I get what you guys are saying, but you just have this attitude that life is a war zone, and its you  vs. everyone else.  How many University's are in the United States?  Over 30,000?  How many shootings have there been in the past year?  5 or 6?  I'd say college campus's are pretty damn safe.  As I recent graduate of college, I would have been very much against 10 guys (or girls) carrying hand guns to my chem, poli sci and english classes.

"If only more people carried guns, then we could have shot dead the senile 85 year old driver before he lost control of his car and plowed into a crowd of people".
