So, friends who are students, who are parents of students and friends who are professors, what do you think?

I can't think it's a good idea, I don't know that I'd let my child into such an environment, or want to teach in one.

Excuse me? Do we need LEGAL massacres now?! My high school was a likely place to be the next Columbine, but we managed to have a look for each other, I don't need university to become a place where that kind of thing is even encouraged.

And if you excuse the rather simple question - what are weapons in schools supposed to be used for? Crotch padding?

defense - from other students with guns, apparently.

I'll spare you of my comment about that.
