They say that the issue of allowing CCW holders to carry on campus was brought up, but they couldn't resist getting their digs in:
"... The guns-on-campus advocates
cited statistics that overall there are fewer killings in environments where people can carry weapons for self-defense. Of course if numerous people had been rushing around with handguns outside Norris Hall on the morning of April 16, the possibility of accidental or mistaken shootings would have increased significantly. The campus police said that the probability would have been high that anyone emerging from a classroom at Norris Hall holding a gun would have been shot."
CCW holders would not have been rushing around outside like chickens with their heads cut off.
And are the campus police saying that they'd shoot anyone carrying a gun without challenging them first?
