I believe that some students should be allowed to do so, but that some criteria must be met first (the following are only some of them)-
Why do I ask this question? As some of you may have seen on the news, the idea is to arm innocent law abiding students so that they may thwart another massacre like the one at VA Tech this week. The student would have a weapon, and hence, would have a chance to defend him/herself as well as others from a deranged gunman.
I think that there should be some kind of extensive course on gun safety provided to any student who wishes to carry a concealed gun on a school grounds. Also, a professional shooter should provide one on one instruction, and the student should also target practice, and become familiar with the weapon.
Of course, any student with this sort of privilege should also be held accountable if something were to happen, and the weapon were misappropriated or otherwise used in an irresponsible manner.
What do you think about this?
