Here in Idaho they have pass a law allowing you now to carry guns on campus. SENATE BILL NO 1254, is this good idea? Only time will tell. If you look at the bill from a normal everyday student view, you see that you can now carry a gun and that is it. In order to get this right you must first go through an eight hour course taught by a NRA instructor. Is that enough time for anyone person to be able to carry a gun on campus. It takes months for police officers to be able to get there Peace Officer License, but its only eight hours extra for an enhanced concealed weapon permit.
We as the people have the right to protect ourselves for the people and the government. Allowing guns on campuses will not make this a safer place but it will make it harder for the law enforcement agencies to response to the scene properly. Imagine you are a student and you see something happening and you don’t like it, you are a gun carrying student with the enhanced permit. You approach the situation and you find that you need to draw your gun out. Doing so draws a crowded of students and facility members and now you are in a spot you never intended. Now the police are coming to the scene and you have your gun drawn and the people that you had drawn your gun on, are now the victims of your stupidity. This is a simple example but it could happen more often than you think.
