One of the stories on Radio 1′s Newsbeat this morning was about a campaign to introduce concealed carry licenses on Virgina Tech campus. It’s also covered on the website story, although you have to scroll down a bit.
It goes without saying I agree with the campaigners that allowing weapons to be carried would make the campus safer.
What I find interesting is that the BBC is introducing to Radio 1 morning show listeners in their teens to 30s the novel (to them) idea that guns have a self defence role. I think this is new.
