    I can see how easily that scenario can come out in an instant. My freshman year I can remember a massive cafeteria food fight got started at my table over a game we were playing called killer. However, that was in fun but in today's culture of quick tempers that kind of shootout could come about without much aggitation.

    Shootings already happen on college campuses. They're usually one sided, though.

    There is a reason that 92% of mass shootings occur in "Gun Free Zones". Maybe now the schools in Texas won't be as soft and vulnerable.

    Do you think it is reasonable for professors to possibly censor themselves for fear of a student who is packing?

    No. Not just anyone can get a carry permit. Those who have them are among the most law abiding citizens in this country.

    No felons, no persons under 21, no illegal immigrants, no people with restraining orders against them, no one that was dishonorably discharged from the military, no one adjudicated as having a mental illness. ......

    I think the fears of the teachers are largely unwarranted.

    Really what happens when the 1st teachers is shot dead by a law abiding student who just losses his mind over a bad grade or failing grade , so your ok with your own kid in a class with other students carrying ...

    There are plenty of law abiding citizens who aren't felons right up until the first time they shoot someone. All of those things are great in theory, but how well have our gun laws worked so far?

    Nothing wrong with this. Hell I bet a lot of people already carried and no one knew.

    More fear in America. There will always be the fearful. Who needs that. The rest of us are moving on. We don't need to carry guns all the time because we refuse to be cowered by the fear.

    Here's a question. If one of these professors who is armed, is able and does neutralize an active shooter, is this a good idea then??

    What if the professor is the active shooter?
