TX considering concealed guns on campus

[Psi U MC Vito]

And MC & DF raise a good point. Somebody with a concealed handgun has no chance against somebody with a prepared automatic weapon unless they have surprise on their side. And a hell of a lot of luck. What is more likely is panic fire that kills people.

ETA: What I wouldn't mind is if they allowed it so that certain classes of people had the capability to bring concealed weapons onto schools. By this I mean people who are trained to deal with a firearm in a combat situation, so cops, retired cops and military.

True. One on one. One bad-guy shooter and one CHL holder. VA Tech, Columbine, Lubys ... and many others ... were not that situation.

Let's be honest. People would have died. When a crazed person starts shooting, people will probably die. But it takes only one clear-headed person with the proper mindset and tools to stop the tragedy short of 32 people.
