Some hope for an OK of guns on campus

Sunday November 20, 2011 7:00 AMWould criminals think twice before a robbery if people were allowed to carry concealed guns on campus?

I was a victim of a violent crime in 1983 on OSU West Campus. I was stabbed and robbed and left for dead. I spent two weeks at OSU hospital recovering and another 6 months at home. I didn't finish my first quarter at OSU, I changed my out look on life and my direction. I only tell you this because I don't think guns on campus is the answer and yes I own guns.
I have a son that is a Freshman at OSU. I told him he needs to be smart about his surroundings and report anything suspicious to the Police.
Have they caught these guys yet?

I was pistol whipped and robbed east of High in 1999. I often wondered what would have happened had I carried a gun then, and I truthfully believe I was better off not having one. I believe it would have ended horribly, for me.

Had the opposite experience myself, twice, where having a firearm was a distinct advantage.

In my situation it would have been bad. There was no space between us, and I was on the ground bleeding before I knew what happened. 1 of the guys who robbed me later on robbed, shot, and killed the other guy who robbed me.
I am usually the guy that is pro gun, shoot them, kill them, anything, but I truthfully believe in my situation I would have wound up dead.

Not disputing your situation, just saying I've had different ones.

The second time I was robbed on High Street, I was maybe 19. Some older guy was pointing something at me in close quarters from under his jacket, which he said was a gun, but I'm assuming was just his hand in the shape of a gun. I was young though, and a bit scared, so I went along with the deal while I pulled out my wallet from my back pocket and showed him that the only thing in there was some lint. I to this day think about it all the time and wish I could go back in time and do it a bit differently, and beat the living shit out of the guy knowing there was no way there was a gun under his jacket. Oh well, at least he didn't get any money from me.

Wow, even with your comment history I'm shocked. Hard to imagine a statement that could possibly paint you in a worse light.
I hope there's some context to this that doesn't just make you seem like a complete ass hat. Though what that could be, I have no idea.

I think the real source to all of this crime and perpetual violence in the area is due to the ruffians' likely non-vegan way of living. Clearly if they lived a more compassionate lifestyle we wouldn't have all of this mess. I really think it's a vegan issue, like every other topic on this board.

The collective agrees and thinks mandatory tofu feedings, while cruel and unusual punishment, are warranted.

The devil is always in the details of the situation.
I had a bounty hunter friend who always carried, and I mean always (like inside of a Friendlys - who knows when a shootout will erupt over the salad bar), could get his gun out of his carrying pouch in no-time flat, and really never drank except at home or at closed events. He rarely ended up firing it at all (even when jumpers took shots at him on occasion). But, he was more Fall Guy than 99.99% of the gun carrying population.

So tell your story already, Rambo.
Somewhere in that story is this quote:
"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you..."
