Protect your neck

I myself have mixed feelings about being able to have a concealed weapon on campus. I understand that it automatically offers a great sense of protection for the gun holder, but for everyone else without a firearm, it can be very scary. There is no way everyone on campus will safely carry a gun on campus. This is because there just aren’t that many sane people on a college campus. I think the only reason some kids do not carry guns on campus, is because of the consequences they will have to face once caught. I myself would be in favor of carrying concealed weapons on the George Mason campus, if and only if, every gun man or woman was put through an extensive, and extremely thorough preliminary course, that certified them as mentally stable, physically able, and saw that they had the right mindset. They would need to answer close to 200 questions for me to know they were taking this seriously and it through the whole thing.
The strongest argument that I saw brought up about being in favor of having a concealed weapon on campus, is the story of Nick and the University of Utah. He sounded very concerned about the Virginia Tech and Northern Illinois University shootings this past year. That would be the type of student I think that would go through a proper gun course like the one mentioned before. The Weakest argument I think I saw for being in favor of having concealed weapons on a college campus was BYU student Casey Matheny who just said “I don’t mind if they have concealed weapons, I just don’t want to know about it.” This to me sounds like an attitude that is to relaxed for this situation. The strongest argument to the prohibiting of concealed weapons on a college campus was the small story of Ted Bundy doing some of his serial killing on the Utah University campus. That to me is a perfect reason for a student to be able to have some sort of concealed weapon.
I think that teachers could be allowed to carry a concealed weapon on campus especially over a student. A teacher has the responsibility to look after the students while they are in the classroom. I also think that the teacher will have the most level head on any one pair of shoulders in the classroom. I would choose a professor or teacher to make my decision and whether to act on something if that is what needed to be done.
