ADT Home Security in Virginia

Keith Fimian Supports guns in Schools

Fast forward to about minute 4:49..

 

SEAGRAVES:If you're a legal owner of a firearm, should you be able to carry that firearm anywhere you want -- schools, public transportation, bars, restaurants?

FIMIAN:  ...You know, I think that at Virginia Tech, if one of those kids in one of those classrooms was packin' heat, I think that, that would not have happened.

SEAGRAVES:  It is illegal for students to carry guns into the campus...

FIMIAN:  The perpetrator of that crime would've thought twice before walking into a classroom if he thought there was any chance of someone being armed and preventing him from doing that.

What ignorance..... (0.00 / 0)
That shooter had extreme mental illness and in my opinion I bet if the VA Tech SWAT Team was waiting for him he still would have attacked the campus.  As a deputy sheriff, we go through various qualifications semi-annually and are expected to maintain a high level of proficiency and have a thorough understanding of laws relating to such areas.  Also, imagine the amount of stress regular student would be under coming under attack from such a deranged individual and whether they would have the mental capacity themselves to accurately discharge their weapons and neutralize the threat.  Just crazy...
