Unfortunately our campuses are just victim zones now.

Creating and publicizing a gun free zone will, in fact, increase the chances of the kind of tragedy we seek to prevent......as quoted from Dr. Michael S. Brown http://www.american-partisan.com/cols/brown/080800.htm

Something needs to change....

I wish I had been there for the interview, I occasionally walk by where they were standing but it's out of my way. That's great to hear that our law enforcement supports us on this issue.

My favorite quote from the article:

Daniel Crocker, a Texas A&M student and a board member for Students for Concealed Carry on Campus, said it makes no sense to have an "invisible line" at the edge of campus, beyond which guns are forbidden. He said law-abiding citizens heed that line, and criminals do not.

"There was one fundamental problem" with Tuesday's incident in Austin, he said. "Everyone was depending on the kindness and the mercy of a deranged lunatic."

The open support of law enforcement is a fantastic boost in the right direction.

Houston Police Officers’ Union Endorses Campus Carry

The most noteworthy aspect of this report is the last thirty seconds, when the reporter doing the live “standup” reports that a representative for the Houston Police Officers’ Union, the largest police union in the state of Texas, spoke out in favor of legalizing licensed concealed carry (of handguns) on Texas college campuses and dismissed the notion that the presence of armed citizens would somehow cause chaos or confusion during or following a campus shooting.
