For those of you who do not know what the SCCC is, it stands for Students for Concealed Carry on Campus. Which is does a pretty good job at explaining what they stand for. They have been doing some pretty heavy lobbying in recent months, and currently in several states there has been some laws that have at least gone into the state congress that if adopted would allow students, professors, and other such faculty members who hold concealed weapon lic. to carry on campus. Currently Oklahoma is in the processes of examining the possibility of this law from what I understand.

As a student (who waited way to long to attend college), this subject is one that somewhat touchy with me. While I support the idea of students who are well trained and extremely competent to have the right to carry on campus, I can also see cases where campus police mistake the do-gooder from the bad guy when he comes around the corner and sees a student with a handgun and a bloody mess of the bad guy on the ground. Because lets face it, they don't wear the obvious evil clothing like in the movies. This could obviously end in another innocent being shot, by the campus police when he is trying to protect others around him. And in a high stress situation like this, while unfortunate, mistakes can and do happen. The military calls this friendly fire.

So my question has to be, what do you all think is going to happen with this? Is this a trend that you think is going to continue for years to come? Be cause I support something like this but only if these students were to work out some type of relationship with the campus police, so that they at least have some kind of knowledge of who is a good guy and who is not. What are your thoughts?
