You overhear one LEO to another, "Shoot all the guys who have their guns holstered!!!"

I watched this video that is linked at that page, and it said that TN has legislation underway for allowing concealed weapons at universities.

I think it would be a fantastic measure, I know I'd feel a lot safer at school. My thesis paper this semester is about this very subject in fact, which drives my whacko English professor nuts

21% Not a scientific survey. Click to learn more. Results may not total 100% due to rounding.

Confusing authrities could happen any where. I would want to be unarmed with raised empty hands when the authorities arive; but not lying on the floor bleeding.
