[QUOTE="Wormydog1724, post: 1225927, member: 8931"] I watched a program on television the other night about teen killers. Many of them were school shootings and the most interesting part was the timeline. In less than a half minute, in some cases, the shooter killed or wounded several people. In less than half a minute! If an active shooter was loose on, lets say OSU because I go there, I feel that it would be several minutes, if not at least 10 minutes, for the authorities to arrive. The damage would be unimaginable if the gunman had a chest rig with 8 thirty round AR mags, a side arm with several mags, and maybe a sawed off shotgun with buckshot. If a gunman had a plan and knew which class rooms were the most crowded, which classrooms led to a single hallway or an area where multiple hallways and exits could be covered, it would be devastating. I do not feel safe when I am at college. I wish I had the right to take measures to defend myself and my loved one, she is also an OSU student. I go to the movies, restaurants, and other places that I can legally carry and I do. Denying me this right makes me feel powerless. The psycho depressed little piss ant that decides to go on a shooting spree isn't going to obey the law that says "no carry on college campus unless consent is given by the pres." and he/she sure as hell isn't going to get permission. Stillwater isn't a safe town and I don't live in the illusion that it is. There is a presence of law enforcement but when I am on campus, I see one campus cop a day, maybe. There's no doubt that if an active shooter were to be on campus, the police would be there in full force, but the time it would take to get there would be too long. I know 15 people, at least, that have their CCW permits and that I would trust in an active shooter scenario. Some say there have been studies that show there isn't enough time for someone to get their firearm out in a classroom setting to defend themselves or in the heat of the moment they even forget they are carrying. Maybe this is true for some, but I would still take my chances with a pistol on my side than just a book and a pencil. [/QUOTE]
