Should guns be allowed in colleges if the student has a concealed carry license? Why? Do you believe it’s good for students to have guns? The Rolling Stones did a report on this and the young reporter Ben Wofford. Wofford does not point out that, in reality, Texas legislators—like most employees of the State of Texas—are required by law to allow the licensed carry of handguns in their offices (in fact, unlike professors, legislators are required to allow both concealed and open carry in their offices).
One college/university insists their students bring guns because of the shooting that happened there. “Days after two shooters killed 14 people and injured 22 others in San Bernardino, Calif., Jerry Falwell Jr., president of Liberty University, stood in front of 10,000 students, faculty and staff and urged them to bring guns onto campus. In his back pocket, the president said onstage, he carried a small pistol”. …show more content…
The perpetrators, Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, a married couple living in the city of Redlands, targeted a San Bernardino County Department of Public Health training event and Christmas party of about 80 employees in a rented banquet room.
The Texas DPS statistics also show a continuing decline in the rate of revocations among young LTC holders. This is particularly noteworthy in light of the fact that the number of licenses issued to college-age applicants in 2016 represents a 66 percent increase from the year before.
The evidence I gathered for this point was that, the amount of people with a concealed weapon license had zero affect on the crime rate. As stated by https://lawstreetmedia.com/blogs/crime/campus-crime-2015-top-10-highest-reported-crime-rates-large-colleges/
