STOP with the anti-gun rants already. Doesn't the UDK have a backlog of sensationalist abortion articles or something about gay marriage or coal plants they can publish instead?

No one wants to defend you, that's your own responsibility. People just want to defend themselves like they have in more than a few other attempted mass shootings. Believe it or not, they have ended mass shootings without harming innocent people, the police had no problem sorting out who was actually the bad guy and with no further victims of the shooter.

Could have, could have, could have. It doesn't happen as you suggest.

It would be really nice if one of these opinion pieces that was against CCW on campus would actually do some basic research on the subject and not just make up issues.

CCW is legal in most states on college campuses. It is against policy in most other states for students and faculty to carry. It is legal in all public colleges and universities in Utah for both to carry. It is legal and specifically permitted at the Colorado State University and the Blue Ridge Community College in VA.

Prior to places having established track records the wild scenarios put forth in this opinion piece actually scared people into believing they could happen. Now there is a 20+ year track record of concealed carry in multiple states plus at least 10 years of history specifically dealing with this issue. Where have these weird scenarios happened? I'm sure if they were going to, they would have, so you should have a lot of episodes to back up your claims.

If not, you're just another person who wants to dictate what others can and cannot do based on your own irrational fears. Irrational fears are called phobias and you really should seek psychological help to overcome them rather than requiring the rest of the world to cater to your phobias.

word.

I will cease supporting a persons right to "carry" on the day that someone with a legal CCL snaps and goes on a shooting rampage. Until that day, I will continue to support RESPONSABLE gun owners who want to carry their weapons freely.

DanG, where and when were these mass shooting that were stopped by armed citizens?

And Stewart's point is that he is making up hypothetical situations, like many people who claim that guns could prevent shootings.

Amen, Ross. The notion that a firefight between two ameteurs (I don't consider belonging to a gun club qualifying someone to engage in armed combat) is better than a massacre is silly. Either way, innocent people are going to be killed, and frankly, it would surprise me if the number of victims between the two scenarios would be that much different.

We don't care about protecting you, just ourselves.

Again, Students of Liberty hopes to tackle this issue in the coming weeks in its ongoing lecture series. I would hope to see both sides of the argument show their support for this important debate.

Mr. Stewart is apparently blissfully unaware of the Warren vs DC case. Here is a link to several cases that disprove his theory that you pay the police to protect you.

Ross, I'm glad you don't want us to protect you. we dont want to. we want to protect ourselves.

also, jizzybee.... Take the Colorado church for example. Gunman carrying a rifle and two handguns shoots two people in the parking lot, then enters the church of 7000 people. he steps in the door and is shot by a women with a concealed carry license. Hundreds of lives were saved that day.

also, for the long shoot outs that you guys say will occur... i carry 6 rounds of ammo when im carrying. just enough to defend myself probably against one or two people. most people with concealed carry permits probably are not going to be carrying hundreds of rounds of ammo so that the shoot out will occur for an hour. and about the police not knowing who is who, the shootings will be over by the time the cops arrive

I still say tasers are the answer, for anyone who cares. Immobilize, disarm, restrain.
