    JMHO, but the point of CC is NOT to stop or confront a person intent on mass murder. The point is to be able to defend yourself and retreat from the situation (which is different than the situation you are mentioning above).
    One topic that most people don't bring up while they debate CC on college campuses is how allowing concealed carry permit holders to carry handguns on campus could protect students from more ordinary crimes other than mass shootings/murders. While the odds of being involved in a mass shooting on a college campus is still low (even in today's environment), students (especially females) have to worry about being attacked, assaulted, or raped while on campus. Students with CC permits would have another way to protect themselves in case the police can't get there in time to help.

    Im asking because I do not know.
    If an active shooter is reported on the Tech campus, Tech Police, Ruston Police and LPSO are going to swarm the campus. There will be no "surround and contain". First responding officers are going to form contact teams and immediately go in after the shooter. The response will be dynamic. Officers are training hours upon hours in "active shooter" scenarios. Priority one is stop the shooter. Police are going in to stop the shooting...not negotiate a surrender. Our goal is save as many lives as possible. Tech Officers are carrying new equipment that was unavailable before. (Patrol Rifles for instance) Each shift has at least one patrol rifle qualified officer with a rifle. (I happen to be one) If a shooter opens up on campus, it is likely there will be casualties. We will do our very best to stop a shooter as fast as we can to limit those casualties.

    I'm yawning at your self-important, ranting bullshit. Your post pretty much confirms that you have some goober-like tendencies.

    Yo-yos like the guy at VATech expect police to arrive with guns; they do not expect Suzie or Bobby Tom to pull a 9mm from a backpack and empty 15 rounds in their chest. To avoid being shot by you, they then return their weapon to the backpack or just lay the damned thing down!

    Of course, they could wait for 30 minutes like they did at VATech for the police to get to where the shooter was. This is not a swipe at the police; it takes time to locate a shooter on a big campus. I prefer not to wait, and I suspect that the families of those killed at VATech wish there had been a "lawbreaker" amongst the students...a "lawbreaker" with a licensed 9mm in their packpack.
    I'm an asshole! What's your excuse?

    I have every confidence you want to and will eventually stop him...but you have to FIND him! Locating an active, moving shooter could take 10...15...30 minutes! If both Suzie and Bobby Tom are carrying, the shooter could be down much sooner.

    I'm glad HB199 was pulled. If students/parents/law_enforcement/school_officials overwhelmingly did not feel comfortable with allowing concealed weapons on campus, then it's a good thing this bill got booted out.

    If I was a Tech student again...I wouldn't feel more safe knowing that I have fellow classmates carrying a firearm.

    You neglected to include the Brady Campaign...the anti-gun folks.

    If you had taken the time to go and research the bill and the opposition, the opposition was from the ULS presidents and their employees (chiefs of police and officers...think Steve Quinnelly) plus the SGA presidents from each institution. There was no great outpouring from students or parents unless the Democrat members of the House (all of whom recieved a donation from the Brady Campaign) count on the parent's list!

    You are just a mouth spouting off about something you have no clue about. How many active shooter classes have you attended? How many active shooter training scenarios have you completed? How many cases of active shooters have you studied? How many states have taken the same stand as Louisiana and voted against concealed carry on college campuses?

    Steve Quinnelly is NOT the Chief anymore. He was replaced after Va. Tech. Just goes to prove your arguments are uninformed.

    Just because other states have "done the same thing" doesn't make it right, does it? I guess that means that Louisiana should fall in line behind California and Vermont endorsing marriage between Bob and Bruce!

    As far as studying active shooters, I hope you have studied hours, nay days, more than I have but it doesn't change the argument that it will take precious time for you to respond and identify a shooter. Bobby Tom can do it a whole lot faster.
