Those advocating gun-free zones raise a number of concerns. They argue that permit holders will accidentally shoot bystanders. Or that arriving police will shoot anyone with a gun, including the permit holders. At colleges, fears are raised that students will get drunk and misuse guns.
Out of the innumerable cases in which concealed carry holders have stopped shootings in malls, churches, schools, universities and busy downtowns, no permit holder has ever shot a bystander.
Nor in these cases have the police ever accidentally shot a permit holder.
Today, 11 states mandate that permit holders are allowed to carry guns on public college campuses. An additional 21 states leave it up to the university. But these legal restrictions didn’t exist before the early 1990s. Students with permits didn’t cause any problems on school property. Indeed, a study this past year by the Crime Prevention Research Center found that college-age permit holders in Texas and Michigan (two states that break down revocation data by age) are at least as responsible as older permit holders.
Accidents over the decades are exceedingly rare. There were three accidental discharges by teachers or staff — one at a K-12 school in Utah and one each at universities in Colorado and Idaho. All cases involved very minor injuries. And the fear that permit holders will lose control of their guns with someone else using them have been completely unfounded.
Gun-free zones are a magnet for those who want to kill people. Even the most ardent gun control advocate would never put “Gun-Free Zone” signs on their home. Let’s finally stop putting them elsewhere.
This is a look at the foolishness of gun free zones...

Way more people are killed not in gun free zones and there are also way more accidental shootings not in gun free zones.

Not true.....legally created gun free zones....whole cities....create more violence....Chicago, New York, Detroit, Washington D.C. when law abiding citizens are the only people who can't have guns....then more people are killed....
