Right in his dorm room? Lovely.

Hum...yet another example of the abject failure of the gun free zone concept (not that the policy will change of course).

This story is obviously false. Everyone knows guns are verboten on campus.

He must have been carried there after getting shot off campus. Guns are illegal on campus.

This is ridiculous. I am a full time student at TSU and I feel I need my gun most down off Jefferson. October 27th 2010 another TSU student was shot but killed at Jefferson st right out of the gates. We need to get the law passed where us students can carry!

It's disgusting that students are not allowed to defend themselves. I never felt safe on UT's campus.

If there's any university in the area that requires being armed, it's TSU. That place is surrounded by ghetto.

[Parrothead]

I hope over the next few years HCP holders on campus will be able to defend themselves. This is getting damn near ridiculous.......

Lol I hear ya guys!! Things NEED to change!

[RobertNashville]

It probabably wouldn't fly, given that one would likely have to substantiate negligence on the part of the school, but perhaps a couple of multi-million $$$ lawsuites due to the school not properly providing for the security of their students/faculty would get some of them to re-evaluate their poilcy...nothing gets the attention of a monolithic organization, even a liberal one, than hitting their pocketbook in a major way.

This is terrible a student cant even FEEL safe in his dorm. I say the school should teach better training of how to run and hide or how to call 911 with the quickness or more phones, ya phones everywhere with 911 on the speed dial. And if all else fails he could just live in a church, I hear churches are the best place to be and FEEL safe.
