I wonder how easy it would be even for me to tell an armed student that they had no chance of passing my class, or that they need to turn in a paper even if they are depressed because their pet died. I would be more likely to be agreeable with an armed person. Since that site isn't hesitant to bring up the Virginia Tech incident, would the Virginia Tech shooter have been less likely to use his legally purchased guns on faculty and students had he been able to carry them to class every day? Would his teachers have been comfortable with that? My concern with students having guns in class is my fear that college teachers would feel afraid managing an armed class.

Especially given the proclivity for school shootings these days. Although hb424 is a nice first step, I'd like it expanded so that it would cover students, staff, and faculty. And there are students who are yearning for this.
