I teach a night class on a campus in the Houston area, and it would be nice to have that extra security on the walk back to my car afterward. I've never felt terribly unsafe, but the campus police generally are not actively patrolling that lot. As the adage goes, if I ever got into the situation where seconds count, they'd surely be just a couple of minutes away.
I read that in Mississippi, you can carry on campus if you complete an extra safety class. If that option were available here in Texas I would be the first in line to sign up for the class. (Not saying an extra class should necessarily be required, but I'd still gladly take it.)
