"Who decides what employees can be armed and where?"

If you have decided to let an employee be armed, why would you have restrictions on where?

"I support legal firearms ownership and carry but if we get to the point where everyone is walking around with a gun then we have lost freedom, not gained it."

I don't follow that logic at all. As long as there are still laws in place against assault and murder and we have people enforcing those laws, how do responsible armed citizens threaten your freedom? It's not the law abiding citizen with a concealed carry permit that you have to worry about.

Caveman93 - Aside from vague sarcasm...what's your point? Relic

Nothing. Just stating a fact.

"So they're going to simulate a bunch of people getting shot, the shooter killing himself, and show up 20 minutes later to lock down the campus?"

No. They're going to simulate the shooter coming in and being confronted by a mental health professional and giving himself up and then starting a support group. Sometimes I wonder why police and deputies even bother when the average person is an ungrateful sarcastic hack just waiting to throw out criticism.

"An armed employee."

Logical? Yes. Practical? No. Who trains the "armed employee"? Are they legally protected from using force if it occurs? Who decides what employees can be armed and where? For my part the last person I'd want carrying a gun was someone that had little or no knowledge or training on it or where a kid could get access to it. I support legal firearms ownership and carry but if we get to the point where everyone is walking around with a gun then we have lost freedom, not gained it.

"I guess the police showing up in force 30 minutes after the people are dead makes some feel good?!?!"

And where do you get 30 minutes from? On the NCSU and NCCU campus they have campus police officers that generally respond to an emergency call in 2 minutes or less. Raleigh PD and Wake County officers would probably be 3 to 5 minutes responding in Raleigh and the same with Durham PD and Durham SO at NCCU. Throw in any State Troopers and other state officers in the area and you probably have more coming in 6-8 minutes. Nothing about ANYONE getting shot makes anyone "feel good". Keeping as many people as possible from being shot does. Dang...I can't believe that I just agreed with GravyPig! Will wonders never cease!

But... but isn't that a gun free zone????

So they're going to simulate a bunch of people getting shot, the shooter killing himself, and show up 20 minutes later to lock down the campus?
