For the Illonios Uni shooting - any other scenario (eg. the percentage of people willing to carry concealables on them everywhere they go -rather low I would think) would make the Uni shooting example of how guns can save america almost irrelevant.
And you missed the point of my previous post - would you be the teacher (in a school where every student is armed)?
The point is, about 95% of the students will be good - but 5% in 1000 students at a school (or say 10,000 at a uni) still equates to 50 or 500 bad students running around with guns.
Would you want to fail them, or stop one of them beating up some other guy, or any of the other examples I mentioned?
Let's stop with the 100% armed student populace. That will not happen, and I don't think I've ever seen cj suggest that. At least stop arguing this scenerio with me, I've never suggested such a thing and to challenge me with defending his comments (if he made them) is bad form.
You act like students are going to turn in to monkeys and play with their guns like they're toys. These are adults. Many adults carry concealed everyday (millions of people), and you don't see them shooting up the place.
You scenerio could easily occur with pocket knives too. Everyone can legally carry those. If a student would be willing to shoot a teacher over a poor grade, why wouldn't they be willing to stab him?
You're a moron if you think that allowing concealed carry on a college campus would lead to 500 people shooting their teachers for every act of discipline they impose.
And to answer you questions, YES I would be willing to be a teacher on a campus that allowed concealed carry.
