Though deadly, they happen so rarely that the risk is actually very slight. But fights happen every single day. Do we really want those fights to involve guns? I am a college student.

Teachers? 100% yes. But more people get shot out of a dispute then by a random gunman. As a fellow college student, I completely agree. Teachers? 100% yes.

The law can't be there all the time. Better to have someone that is responsible enough to stop them. People like you are the reason it's such a pain to get a CCW. You probably think that the Police have a level of training that the average gun owner could never attain. Guess what, police are people just like me, except they get paid to protect people, whereas I would do it for free. If someone burst into your classroom with an illegally carried/owned weapon and opened fire, wouldn't you be happy that the guy in the back row was legally carrying a concealed weapon and stopped the shooter and kept your head intact?
