After a 17-year-year old student opened fire at his school last week, only minor injuries were reported – due in large part to a teacher tackling the shooter.
So far, there are 10 states that allow their students to open carry on college and university campuses. But that doesn’t necessarily mean there are no limitations to who can carry and when or where.
Securing these outdoor spaces takes a different mindset. Indoors, a lot of effort is spent protecting assets. Outdoors, it’s mostly about protecting people. It’s about the student walking late at night between the library and dorm or the last student heading to their car in a remote parking lot.
