i don't think people seem to understand how few people will actually be carrying in campus buildings if the law were passed. let's say on a campus with 30,000+ students, you may have a few hundred with CHLs (maybe more, not sure) and some professors, and i think the number of CHL holders who would actually carry to class on a daily basis would be even smaller. i hate how people cite one freak accident like this and ignore the hundreds of thousands of CHL holders who have never dropped their weapons and never had a negligent discharge. you have a significantly greater chance of being killed in a car accident on your way to class than being shot by a CHL holder who accidentally drops their gun while taking off their jacket.

She was shot in a seated position....bullet went through her leg into her abdomen, not sure if she will pull through.

We CHL holders must carry responsibly.

i was listening to the same show and heard her call in. after hearing the daughter-in-law describe the damage it's done (as of friday afternoon they'd already done 1 surgery to repair her intestines and were possibly going to have to go in again) and that she's in ICU (her vitals are stable, but she's still in "critical" condition), i'm praying for her and her family that she pulls through.

i haven't watched the news this weekend, but does anyone know the latest on her condition? i normally expect the media to over-exaggerate a story and make it sound worse than it really is, sort of surprised that they've been reporting her in stable condition and making it sound almost like she was shot in the rear by a bb gun... at the very least they've managed to make it sound like a minor mishap.
