Louisiana- (Ammoland.com)- Should we allow guns on campus?

My initial reaction to the question is the same as yours. Are students responsible enough to defend themselves? Why would we want a gun on campus?

The real problem is with our inaccurate imagination. We have an idealized view of campus life, and a stereotypical view of students. Let’s add a dose of reality before we answer. We don’t have to ignore our experience as we simplify our ideas. A school campus is a dangerous place today. Some people on campus are precisely the sort of people we want to go armed, for both their safety and for the safety of others.
