Andrew Dysart's picture has been plastered all over local news outlets for his decision to wear a empty holster to his GMU classes--a sign of his desire to carry his permitted handgun on campus, which is currently (and rightfully) banned.How crazy are these people? Do they exist in a world of such fear that they need their security blankets with them at all times? Maybe Andrew's mom took away his teddy bear at too early an age, thus he feels insecure and paranoid.
What's even crazier? The Express Poll shows that, at least from my Metro station (albeit somewhat ghetto), 60% of the public are in favor of allowing permitted weapons on campus. Right...cause there's so many mass killing sprees. I guarantee this: if they were permitted, a hell of a lot more than 32 people would be killed on campuses every year. Not only that, teachers would feel threatened by students arguing the merits of their answers to tests, pleading for a grade bump-up, etc. Martial law on campus? Yea, that's just what we need to train the next generation in how to be law abiding, peaceful citizens in corporate America.

I love the 'but I can't defend myself without a gun' argument. Surely in moments like these a gun won't make a damn bit of difference, or may even result in more deaths.
