I'll be the first to point out that the following scenario could actually happen anywhere, but a college campus is my choice for the discussion, due to the extremely leftist and anti-gun policies of most of them.
Anyway, let's say that a student is carrying illegally on this very liberal, anti-gun campus. This student is an otherwise very upright kid who has never been in trouble and usually makes the honor roll. He's just concerned for his safety because there have been threats against him and others.
So then some crazy decides to do a copycat of the Virginia Tech shooter. The crazy has already dropped several people when he corners a pretty large group, let's say 20+ people. They're screaming and panicking and can't go anywhere, but the carrying student is in the group.
So now our hero takes the only logical action; he draws and kills the shooter.
What will most likely be his fate? Looking at the overall situation, I'll further define it:
The student is an upright, solid citizen except for the fact that he's carrying illegally.
The student is too young for a concealed carry permit in his state which, of course, wouldn't be valid on campus anyway.
He shot the perp in front of 19 witnesses in broad daylight.
The intentions of the crazy were very clearly established, since he had already murdered several people. This was very clear cut.
So he has 19 other students whose loved ones are very grateful to him.
So what do you think? Does he go to jail? Is he kicked out of school? If either happens, what will be the response of the families of the students whose lives he saved? How serious will his newly established criminal record be?
Discuss!
