Common Arguments Against Campus Carry

Source: "Common Arguments Against Campus Carry." Concealed Campus, Students for Concealed Carry, 2011.

Summary: On this webpage, the group, Students for Concealed Carry, gave many different arguments on how carrying concealed weapon could be potential bad for college students while on Campus. They provided a lot of back up to show how it could be dangerous, such as different court cases, school shootings, and mental reasoning.

Quality: The group who made this argument page provided many different statistics, such as, "According to 2002-2006 statistics*** from the Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas concealed handgun license holders were five and a half times less likely than members of Texas’s general population to commit manslaughter and four times less likely to commit murder."When the asterisks are shown, it gives you a link to go to the actual source where they found the information. Most of the argument included a type of resource to back them up.

Issues: Although they did give different ways to help support them, they did not include any counterattacks to their arguments, making it a tad bit bias.
