“Campus would be safer, but with a limit. I think people should be able to carry something but also be knowledgeable about the situation and what to do in it. I wouldn’t carry, and I would prefer to use the things I’ve learned from my teachers and peers about how to deal with dangerous situations, without firearms.”
-Daniel Lian, political science junior
“I’m leaning towards more safe because people would not want to pull out a weapon in public since everyone would have weapons and people would try less acts of random violence. In Texas everyone wants to have a gun to protect themselves and everyone else.”
–Konor Barnes, industrial engineering senior
“I would argue that it’s more safe, however any time you bring more weapons, you invite the possibility of people who misuse their privilege to bear arms and just more accidents in general. A mass shooter would be less, but the risk of someone accidentally firing their firearm would increase.”
-Sean Bickham, international studies junior
