What makes this newsworthy is that the students are for keeping the current policy. Student-government spokesman Matt Strauch was surprised.  He said "I honestly thought students would be against guns on campus, and we just haven’t heard that. The majority of the comments we’ve received from students is that they are in support of having concealed-carry remain permitted on campus."   Indeed, from the comments on the first article I have found on this issue, the students understand perfectly what the issues are.  They know that disarming legal carriers will leave them more vulnerable than they are now.  They know that in a crisis such as happened at Virginia Tech, their best hope for stopping the killing is a normal person who is also armed on site with them. As one commenter put it, "An armed campus is a polite campus."

Gotta love it ...
