As the president of a university community of nearly 15,000 students and 7,000 faculty and staff, I take very seriously my responsibility to keep our campus safe in an increasingly dangerous world. The concealed carry policy has worked well for us.

It is my understanding that some groups who are opposed to visiting our campus are basing their decision on Liberty's concealed carry policy.

Carrying a concealed weapon is a sign of self-defense, self-protection, and I think it lowers crime.

Common sense should tell us that there is no reason for civilians to have access to easily concealable handguns with the capability to shoot through body armor.

Most people who are looking to get a handgun are going to get a carry permit. But most people don't carry around rifles with them; they keep them at home or at the range.

One crime has to be concealed by another.

Currently, most States do not recognize within their borders concealed carry permits issued in other States.

I've been teaching full-time for 41 years at small colleges, and I can't imagine what it would mean for me or my colleagues to be armed with handguns or rifles instead of books and a thorough knowledge of our chosen disciplines.

There are some circles in America where it seems to be more socially acceptable to carry a hand-gun than a packet of cigarettes.

Understanding the long, sordid history of gun control in America is key to understanding the dangers of disarming.
