Better yet, find their daughter and coach her to receiving her CHL and shooting in IDPA regularly.KC5AV wrote:The perfect revenge: Find their daughter, and date her.

Are they ok with the thought of their daughter being more vulnerable to the bad guys? Too bad they don't know me and the fact that I attend the same school but when I'm not in class I am always carrying to protect myself. I bet if they knew that, they would have a fit over it! I will never be able to understand the logic some people use.My daughter is at Texas State. I want NO ONE, with a gun, within MILES of her. That includes her fellow students, some of whom may not be stable. No guns should be allowed on any college campus, ever. There should be a better system of ensuring that.
Sorry for my little rant.

Re: Editorial in Today's Dallas Morning News
And my reply, which was actually sent last night when the editorial appeared online.
In your editorial you state that "The possibilities for problems and errors in judgment are enormous"
Isn't that what you opined when you opposed Concealed Handgun Licenses many years ago?
Do you remember how that turned out?
And you also state "Would the presence of armed civilians have reduced the danger? That's debatable."
Actually, it's not all that debatable, the presence of armed civilians has reduced the danger, at Appalachian Law School, at New Life Church in Colorado Springs, and even here in Texas.
Yes, schools and university should be places free from the fear of violence, but the simple fact is they are not, and the history of concealed carry shows that besides having nothing to fear and therefore no reason to be inhibited, that those places would be made safer by armed citizens exercising their Second Amendment rights under the US Constitution and section 23 of the Texas Constitution.
