Both sides of gun debate to rally at Va. Tech

The fact of the matter is that those that plan to do harm are not concerned with the law.  You can make it illegal for the world to stop turning but it will keep on going.  What sense does it make to ban those that obey the law responsibly from protecting themselves and others from those that plan to cause harm?  As a Virginia Tech student I held a concealed carry permit but did not carry to class because I respected the rules.  I am a military veteran and heavily trained in firearms, would you have felt safer if I did carry?  I would like to hope so.

More food for thought:  how are those laws on drugs working out for you?  Meth, weed, LSD, cocaine, etc. are all illegal, I guess that means that the moment those laws went into effect drug use ceased?  I didn't think so.  If somebody wants to carry a gun with the intent of causing harm, no law written on paper is going to stop them.  Criminals do not care what the laws are.  Trained concealed carrying citizens obey these laws, passed criminal background checks, and completed in depth training to be able to legally protect themselves, who are you to stop them?

Any entity be it a university, business, hospital, or anything else that prohibits persons from being able to defend themselves and their families while on it's premises bears full responsibility for insuring that person's and that person's family's safety and well being. Other than courthouses, police departments, and sheriff's departments, I know of no other place that MAY be able to do that. If the day comes that a person who would normally be able to defend themself is attacked and becomes a victim because a law/policy prevents it, and that entity does not protect the victim, It seems to me that the victim or their family should be able to sue the entity that failed to protect and defend them.

I hate all that lawsuit crap.
