Yes as stated the biggest two problems I can see in their response is concerns over discharges and misidentification when a weapon is drawn.
I need to remind them that carry around campus is allowed and hasn't yet resulted in illegal use by lawful holders (if infact true).
I think the biggest bite we will have against them is to clearly state that no matter how prepared they are they have no control over a motivated person until police arrive. The first person to the scene of the crime is the victim, not the officer. Since they can't provide any hope of safety until police arrive, how can they justify leaving someone practically defenseless in the mean time?
steve_64_d, I don't expect to write a spectacular letter and win them over. However, its better than doing nothing. Maybe we could push to have the school do something instead of leaving it up to the police. Or better yet the state legislature. As conservative as my campus is, it still seems like a long shot.

Chip in CHL Wisdom, lets create a template for school carry
I've wanted to do this for so long, and this finally got me on my feet. I'm going to send an email to the chief of police at my university, as they are the ones who must give permission to carry. I don't expect to have much of a chance, but I'd like to shatter any reason they might have before (or after) they get a chance to say it.
Without sounding like I'm on a rant and going on forever, what information should be included. We should perfect a template for every student to use at their school.
