"Law enforcement arrived at Florida State University’s packed library within three minutes of receiving calls that a man with a gun had opened fire."
"But some gun rights advocates think that wasn’t soon enough."
"The shooting, which left three people injured before police killed the assailant, has become the go-to anecdote for proponents who want to change state law and allow people with concealed weapon permits to bring their guns on college campuses. They argue it’s a safety issue for students at FSU and beyond." ... |

The FSU Student Govt's position is unsupportable.
Contrary to their assertion, the lack of the anticipated epidemic of violence is prima facie evidence that campus CCW works as advertised.
I say that because if I challenge them to identify ONE prognostication that has actually occurred on campuses in the seven states that allow for lawful CCW at colleges, they will not be able to cite a single incident.
Not ONE.
Because there aren't any.

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
