Brian Stubbs: Always Outnumbered, Still Outgunned Pending Outcome Of Lawsuit

An interesting spread of opinions on the concealed-carry issue, from the ODE, here. Most eyebrow-raising is that of pre-CIS major Hanna Budan, quoted as saying:

“There can be too much power when only one group is allowed to carry guns or have weapons. I would feel more comfortable if DPS, who is hired and trained by the University, had guns.”

Yikes. I salute Hanna Budan for her faith in humanity, or that subset thereof hired by the University as rentacops. (Only one group, did you say?) She goes on to say that she’d rather have guns in residence halls than classrooms. I think allowing people to bring guns to class is an awful idea, but the residence halls? The Bean complex, specifically? These are people who have already demonstrated a spectacular ability to injure one another using only everyday household objects and institutionally-provided items of furniture. What could possibly go wrong with a bunch of drunken eighteen-year-olds packing handguns in a confined space?

There’s more, but I’m busy and I wanted to use that headline before anyone else. Cheers.
