“It has its pros and its, but overall it could be a bad decision. Students could become prone to irresponsibility because of lack of maturity.”

“I feel that there is really no need for students to carry a gun around campus. It only opens the door for more issues.”

“I feel it is a little too much considering how bad it could turn out to be. There are plenty of options for protection than guns.”
Jeremy Biggers

“I think that the law is saying that, ‘our campus is dangerous, think twice before coming here.’ I’m all for self protection but guns being carried on campus leaves a lot of room for error.”
Keenan Simon

accounting major
“I think that passing a law to carry guns on campus is a horrible idea. It will not only endanger students on campus, but also the carrier as well.”
Quinndalyn Robinson

foreign languages major
I think it’s a good idea. People don’t suddenly go crazi just because you place a gun in their hands. A person who actually wanted to do something horrible wouldn’t be deterred by a rule saying no guns. allowing them puts people on even footing so that horrible incidents don’t happen. People should always be allowed to protect themselves.
