I heard about this essay on the Dan and Amy show here in Chicago…..
I Want My Husband To Have A Gun On Campus
Let Would-Be Victims Shoot Back
It’s one thing to accept that my husband’s mostly-safe job has a slightly increased risk of death by psychopath. It’s quite another to accept that he can’t do anything about it. Granted, it isn’t likely that someone would try to murder him and his students in cold blood. We now have to agree, though, that the risk is no longer entirely negligible.
If news rooms were being shot up at the same rate, I’m guessing we’d be seeing major movement on the protect journalists front.
We see communities of healthy, intelligent people choosing to be sitting ducks for murderous psychopaths.
As it is, the Students for Concealed Campus initiative has helped bring campus-carry legislation to 13 states, but only one (Texas, of course!) has actually passed major legislation to permit concealed carry on campus. The great majority of university faculty and staff are still stuck hoping “campus security” can get on top of the situation before they and their students all die.
