Concealed carry: what a concept!

Information I hadn’t seen before from the Econospeak blog on the anniversary of Virginia Tech:

The five highest states in gun ownership are Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota, West Virginia, and Idaho. The highest states in suicide rates are Montana, Nevada, Alaska, New Mexico, and Wyoming. The five lowest states in gun ownership are D.C., New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. The five lowest states in suicide rates are D.C., New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.


OK, so this is the downside. The upside of concealed carry, especially on the campuses, is the circular firing-squad shoot-out of student vigilantes bringing down the bad guys -- and maybe just a few of the other innocent students as unfortunate collateral damage.

Can you site even one example of this actually happening in the literally hundreds of uses of a firearm for self defense that happen in this country every year?

"the circular firing-squad shoot-out of student vigilantes bringing down the bad guys -- and maybe just a few of the other innocent students as unfortunate collateral damage."

Just because you're not comfortable with a firearm does not mean that I shouldn't have the choice to have one.
