An armed society IS a polite society. But carrying a weapon, be it blade, firearm or impact, and being trained in the appropriate use thereof , requires a level of responsibility which I find many adults, let alone college students, lack.
Carrying a weapon requires one to be responsible, not only for its use, but also preventing its misuse by others. Responsibility for the consequences of said use or misuse go without saying.
Who are you to judge if they are "responsible" enough?
If they complete the background checks and training (if required) why shouldn't they be allowed to protect themselfs?
