The discussion centers on a mass shooting at Northern Illinois University, raising questions about the effectiveness of gun-free zones and the potential for self-defense training in schools. Participants express skepticism about gun control laws, arguing that they primarily disarm law-abiding citizens while criminals will always find ways to obtain firearms. There are calls for allowing concealed carry permits for students as a means of defense against potential shooters. Some contributors suggest that a cultural shift is necessary to address the root causes of violence among young people. The conversation reflects a deep divide over gun rights and the best strategies to prevent future tragedies.

Anywhere.

Here's a question for you. Where do you live that you trust criminals more than honest citizens?

I don't trust criminals more than honest people. I just don't assume that every stranger I come into contact with is a criminal who has it in their mind to victimize me. If that were the situation, I would change my situation. I enjoy going out and not considering that I will be a victim. If that were the case, I would consider myself to be living in fear...a victim every single day.

Oh, I live in Dorr, Michigan.

For those who want ccw's: Where do you spend your time that you feel the necessity to have deadly force to protect yourselves?

How about the university one might be attending?

I carry everywhere. Some days I don't carry at all. Depends a great deal on what I am wearing, and where I am going. Chances are very good that a violent crime will never befall me. But, if it ever happens I want to be as prepared as I can.

But it is ok to assume that honest citizens with a CW are going to shoot the place up?
