If a person is at risk of being harmed should they be "allowed," by the government, to carry personal protection?

Yes, if the risk is abated and not increased for everyone else. The argument I have made and you have ignored all along is that weapons actually increase the risk of intended and unintended harm...particularly on a college campus, where out of control behavior is quite common.

Now quit using these silly and obliquely related references and recognize that contraception is not a controlled practice...it has no potential for physical consequence to un-associated citizenry as a gun does when aimed in the wrong direction, or by a drunken student, or by mistake or intentionally to settle a score, or you name it in any number of other harmful circumstances.
