&gt;this year

[According to wikipedia's list, today was the first university shooting this year.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_the_United_States#2015_to_present)

Before today, the last university shooting was at GSU, which allows concealed carry.

:/

*For that matter, during a shooting no one on campus - outside line of sight - knows who the shooter is or what he looks like. When you whip your concealed firearm out and rush to the scene, guess who you become? You're the shooter now. The cops will aim at you. The students will be terrified of you. The shooter could easily claim he's a good guy with a concealed carry, so you have no way to prove you're not him.

Wherever you go, you block off a route of escape. Just by being there and holding a gun when nobody knows who or where the shooter is. Maybe you're an accomplice. There are almost always reports of a second shooter. You make the whole situation worse when you brandish your own firearm in the chaos of a school shooting. And shooters expect to die, so you're not a deterrent. This whole line of reasoning is idiotic.
