Brent Tenney says he feels pretty safe when he goes to class at the University of Utah, but he takes no chances. He brings a loaded 9 mm semiautomatic with him every day.I'm undecided on this. On the one hand, introducing and reinforcing the concept of armed citizens into the public consciousness is something we need to do. On the other, holding a (GASP) semiautomatic pistol with the campus as a background won't exactly give the fence-sitters among us the warm and fuzzies, particularly so soon after Virginia Tech. Besides, the whole point of carrying concealed is that no one knows.
I'm glad Brent has the courage to take an individual stand--we do need more like that. I hope he hasn't made himself a target for the campus antis, who could make his academic life difficult.
Thoughts, anyone?
