I guess the argument is routine vs. special case. Routine would hopefully mean sensible and trained, but we all know the reality. Unfortunately, the special case includes only cops, nutters, and nutter cops. The pragmatist sees that guns don't belong in that environment but that means leaving people exposed. I'd rather the individual student make the call and irresponsible behavior, such as carrying drunk, be punished. We can create expectations for behavior or we can use force the control behavior, I'd prefer to see a creative use of expectations. The bottom line: I have no idea, we've got a diverse society where irresponsibility is often expected. The right thing and the reasonable thing can be in conflict especially considering long term vs. short term visions for society.
