Concealed Weapons
Yesterday on the CU campus there was apparently an "empty holster" protest which basically advocated for more concealed weapons rights. I strongly oppose concealed weapons (and firearms in general), and this article supports my position. If we didn't carry firearms, or at least legislated so that far fewer people did, I think that this sort of needless violence would decrease. I hope the protesters, who so want their concealed weapons that they organized a protest, are reading the news today and seeing what is happening just down the highway. With concealed weapons. That is all.

I don't understand the opposition to concealed weapons WHEN THE PERSON HAS A VALID PERMIT! If there were more people who practiced this right, gun toting criminals would be less apt to cause problems for citizens. If there had been just ONE student carrying concealed at Virginia Tech, the shooter would have had less opportunity to kill. Many lives could have been saved.
The people to worry about are not the ones who follow the law and go through the required background checks and licensing procedures. The ones to worry about are the ones who buy their weapons on the street and DON'T have a permit. I never understand the opposition to people who follow procedure and get a license to carry. Maybe one day a person with a concealed weapon will save your life. There are many documented accounts of such things occuring. The media just refuses to give them airtime.
