Would Allowing Students to Carry Weapons Make College Campuses Safer?
It Doesn't Seem Safe
I don't know much about this situation, but I think carrying concealed weapons would precipitate more accidents and violence, although, I suppose it depends on the type of weapon or the definition of "weapon". But, broadly, I think we should keep weapons out of schools.
