Liberty University in Virginia is encouraging students to get training on concealed carry of sidearms and is ending a rule which prevented students from carrying sidearms into campus residence halls in order to improve campus safety. Students were allowed to obtain concealed carry permits under a 2011 rule, but were prevented from taking their weapons into residence halls.
It has been widely speculated that allowing campus carry could have prevented many campus shootings including the recent one at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon. It is beyond difficult for an unarmed person to protect himself or others against an active, armed shooter. Terrorists and shooters with mental problems prefer "soft" targets, where they will meet with little or no armed resistance. Security personnel at Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino were unarmed.
Providing gun owners get training and learn basic self-defense skills, I am totally in favor of them carrying concealed weapons wherever they go. I cannot think of any instance of a permit holder being involved in a gun crime.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
