Although I hate to see both sides of the spectrum its blatantly obvious as to why many secondary institutions are gun free. It seems like every time you turn around there has been another college shooting. I go to school at Baylor in Waco Texas, and although we got past the crazed Davidians, there were an incredible amount of robberies just off of campus and even a few on the outer edges of campus. I don't own a handgun, but once all of that started happening I thought it would be rather foolish of me to NOT possess a gun. There wasn't a time besides hunting when my 12 gauge came out of my truck despite the chance that campus police saw it in my truck. Its just another rotten apple spoils the bunch situation where the very few criminals ruin it for the law abiding students choosing to simply protect their possessions or even life.
