Gil Horman, Utah, http://www.gunsandammo.com/galleries/8-reasons-for-concealed-carry-on-campus/), one of many of the concerns about guns being on campus is that it will disrupt the learning environment. Another concern expressed on this website as well as (?), there is an ongoing argument about the time it takes first responders to get a scene. "When seconds count, help is only minutes away." No matter where you are, what kind of threatening situation it is, or how many people there are, it takes time for law enforcement to respond. Adding the time from when the call was made, to organizing who goes where, to actually arriving at the scene and possible obstacles in the way, are another reason why carrying a concealed weapon makes scene. Some people may forget that just because they wear the uniform, does not mean they are obligated to take a bullet for you. Depending on the situation on campus, in one's opinion, it is better to have some sort of self-defense mechanism to possibly save not only your life, but the life of others. "The person nearest the threat who can act the most quickly to stop the threat is the person being threatened", (Gil Horman). .
Another source (Why State Should Allow Guns in Campus; Michele Fiore; http://lasvegassun.com/news/2013/feb/24/why-state-should-allow-guns-campus/) that agrees with gun allowance also agree that no matter how close authorities may be, having something to defend yourself with is always a good option. The website shares a terrifying story of a 22-year-old girl. She did everything correctly. She never walked into the parking garage alone. Her friends walked with her and she knew her surroundings well. After checking the area around her car, she readied herself to get in her car as she felt safe. However, little did she, know she was not safe at all. Her attacker came in from behind, took her to the ground, and held her at gunpoint.
