Concealed Carry on Campus

In light of the recent Virginia Tech shootings and the renewed debate on weapons for self-defense I got to thinking of a possible solution that would allow CCW permit holders to carry on college campuses. First, I need to say that I support the 2nd Amendment right for individual Americans to keep and bear arms. I also believe that the majority of current firearms laws do infringe on our 2nd Amendment rights to one degree or another. However, I try to live in reality and I understand that there are many citizens in our nation that become uneasy even upon metioning the word "gun" let alone seeing or touching one. Because of that fear, the people that are either indifferent or opposed to guns have been able to get gun control laws passed to give them a sense of false security. I do believe everyone (convicted felons, persons without full citizenship, and minors excepted) should be able to determine whether they want to own firearms or not as well as the number and type of firearms. The problem with so-called gun or gun control laws is that the anti-gun crowd does not care about their personal right to own firearms, so they don't care whether these laws infringe upon the rights of those of us who choose to bear arms. The overwhelming majority of those that choose to own firearms are good and decent law-abiding citizens who are willing to fight for their own as well as their fellow citizen's safety. There are a small minority of gun owners that are criminals that prey upon the unarmed and weak that will take every advantage to achieve their criminal acts. The law-abiding citizens help to keep the criminals in check as local law enforcement organizations in the U.S. are reactionary in nature and rarely catch criminals "in the act." Police cannot be everywhere, but private citizens that are licensed to carry concealed weapons are just about everywhere and can instantly react to a criminal situation and quickly restore peace through decisive action. My proposal for college campuses is to adopt programs to allow CCW permit holders to carry their weapons everywhere on campus. Institutions of education that are worried about not knowing who is carrying a weapon can register these individuals through their Dean's office in much the same way they apply to the state for their CCW permit. For eligiblity the school could stipulate having an in-state CCW permit, a minimum GPA, some volunteer security detail for sporting and other events, clean legal and academic records, and continuing firearms training/practice requirements. The institution could also implement a first responder network with the permit holders through school issued pager/cell phone as a reserve force for the school/local community security and police forces. Schools would be able to revoke the school permit upon any infraction of the requirements and re-instatement of the permit could be decided by the board of trustees upon review of circumstances/improvement in adhering to the requirements. I think this could do many great things for the security of the school, the students, and the surrounding community. Campus crime would drop, emergencies would have a much quicker response, and depending on the number of students applying for the permits academic achievement could substantially increase. Having voluntary reserve security forces available to the surrounding communities would generate good will and safer communities. Schools could additionally begin to offer firearms classes and programs which the NRA would no doubt be willing to support and facilitate. A campus gun club would offer students the opportunity to adopt a new hobby and can foster inter-collegiate competetive shooting events much like the sports and academic teams that currently compete. Does this sound like a great idea? Are there other suggestions? Are there details that need some ironing out? Please, tell me what you think.
