Whitten Maher's response was well written, I will say that.

Does being a responsible gun owner qualify you to be a vigilante? I’m not referring to the act of judging who lives or dies, but rather the implications of unprepared, armed students trying to diffuse an already violent combat situation.

Vigilante? Hardly, if the connotation of vigilant is to sweep the campus/classroom of any and everything evil. CCW on campus might however, have an implication that a
prepared and armed student has at least a reasonable chance for survival as opposed to being shot, knifed, bludgeoned or raped on campus; said student (or instructor) having an option heretofore not allowed (save Utah and a couple of other collegiate campuses).
Far better, I gather, to ignore or downplay violent crime on campus (is there crime on college campuses?
) and to depend on someone else with a gun and a badge to save ones studious derriere, eh?
But, I preach to the choir and they already know that sermon, chapter and verse.
