Should college employees be allowed to carry concealed weapons on campus?
Shootings at universities and colleges in the US in recent years have contributed to a debate on how to avoid gun violence, including authorizing people to wear a hidden weapon on campuses. Some people support the student, professors and other college employees carrying concealed firearms in school while another group is completely opposed to carrying a concealed handgun in colleges. This paper would try to illustrate the opposing viewpoints of students and employees carrying concealed firearms in schools, and explains that having concealed weapons on campus is not a worthwhile idea.
Supporters of concealed guns in colleges claim to be violating the rights of citizens by prohibiting them from carrying guns for self-protection. They believe campuses would be safe, and if students and teachers carried weapons, criminality would be deterred. As a result, laws have been passed in many states legalizing concealed weapons on college campuses (Collins 1). The opponent of concealed handguns in colleges believes that if guns were allowed on college campuses, the probability of injury or death would increase.
