Unsafe At Any Caliber

Vandy student Katherine Miller likes the Second Amendment and all but she’s not exactly sure she wants the frat boys from up North strapped on campus:

I still have love for the second amendment and have no issues with guns when used and owned by people who respect them. My uncles all hunt, and I’ve shot a shotgun — out in the middle of the farm in Florida in the orange groves. I’ve met plenty of Southern boys who I’d trust to have a gun around for hunting, but I’ve also met too many here from my Mid-Atlantic homeland who have never been hunting and think guns are awesome — not people I want storing handguns on campus. The arguments for concealed carry are legitimate; gun ownership is a right, and personal security cannot be impeded upon. But I’m 5′3 and weigh 120 lbs., and I’ve never felt unsafe on campus; the presence of guns on campus, even legally, might alter that feeling a bit.
