Even before a gunman killed six people and injured more than a dozen others in a lecture hall at Northern Illinois University, a small but growing movement had been underway at universities and state legislatures to allow students, faculty and staff to carry guns on campus.
Twelve states are considering bills that would allow people with concealed-weapons permits to carry guns at public universities. The efforts were sparked by the Virginia Tech massacre last April.

It would be a lot safer for students who are educated about how to use a weapon to be carrying guns than someone illegally taking a gun to campus (that is not registered as a concealed weapon) with the intent and purpose of shooting others.
