WVU faculty and students were each given an opportunity to share their thoughts on House Bill 2519.
"More guns on campus is not going to lead to more violence," said Jackson Wolfe, who's pro-campus carry.
"Having the accessibility to a weapon makes situations escalate very quickly," said Olivia Young, a student against the bill.
The proposed Campus Self Defense Act would allow licensed people to carry a concealed weapon on college campuses throughout the state. |

"Having the accessibility to a weapon makes situations escalate very quickly," said Olivia Young, a student against the bill.
Straw man, and completely without logic.
How does one 'escalate' from the starting point of shooting everybody in sight?
GAH. Ridiculous. |

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
