In response to, "Rights to carry a weapon shouldn't be lost at school" (Nov. 17), I am so sick of people arguing for concealed carry on campus. Should someone start shooting, the last thing I'm going to want is more panicked students with guns. Can you really tell me that you won't be afraid, nervous and flooded with adrenaline if someone starts shooting up Willard? And then you want to take out your concealed gun and start firing? Presumably there would be students screaming, running around and general chaos. Yes, more bullets flying definitely sounds like the right answer! Your background check doesn't make you qualified. If everyone with a gun was qualified to use it any time they liked, everyone with a gun could be a police officer. Leave our safety to our brave, capable and most importantly, well-trained men and women in uniform.
