"Just think if the Newtown principal could have taken out the shooter due to having a gun safe in her office." Sounds like you've bought into the "the answer to gun violence is more guns" argument. Here in Utah, a red, gun loving state, college students can concealed carry their guns to class. HS students are trying to get the privilege.

Yes. I agree with you. Because of the widespread plague of gun violence throughout this country, it's imperative that potentially innocent victims, such as yourself and myself, be allowed to carry weapons loaded with live ammunition in just about any public venue. That's why the article, which some thought was written tongue in cheek, was actually very important - that when you allow the arming college students like in Idaho (and Texas, etc.) what exactly are the rules of engagement on when it's permissible to gun down another, and how far does stand your ground extend. I myself prefer a Smith and Wesson 9 mm with a 15 round clip over a 12 round clip because it just seems like there are so many more bad guys out there today. If and when I am called to rely upon it's use, it is my intent to empty the entire clip in any one situation.
