- You can get your concealed weapons license online
- Many students aren't trained properly to use a gun
- It causes uneasiness on campus knowing that anyone at anytime may have a gun
- A college which has drugs, alcohol and wild kids should not also have the ability to carry guns
- If police -who are trained for this stuff- can injure 9 innocent bystanders then a student who has no training should not be allowed to carry a gun even if it may "save someones life" from a crazy columbine
- It makes it harder to identify if there may be a possible shooting in a building if all students carry guns
- People often shoot in fear before thinking causing avoidable tradgedy (Trayvon Martin)
- You may not know how frightful a student is of guns and may cause them to be distracted in the classroom knowing their peer could pull a weapon on them at anytime
- Students may become enraged and pull fire on anyone at any moment if we do not know their mental stability
- Having guns makes it easier and more likely to raise crime rates; such as rapes and mugging in campus nightlife
Pros
- It allows student to protect themselves against those who can and WILL use weapons on campus (even if requested not to)
- Campuses do not check you as you come into and leave campus, so expecting a lunatic or deranged person to abide by the "no gun" rule is ridiculous.
- It could have in many cases saved lives such as in Virginia Tech and other shootings
- Licensing requires background checks and other filters to getting a gun license that prevent criminals to carry a gun
- Crime has fallen with the rise of weapon carrying, because people are more aware that if they commit a serious crime, there will be vigilante reprocussions.
