CU-Boulder law student defends right to carry gun on campus
While I applaud her message and support, she's failed at "security through obscurity." She's just made herself a target for the bad guys.

I agree- good for her, but she has outed herself as a gun owner in a locale that is not too friendly for such a person. But, I hope these stories keep coming out, when we repeatedly say, like this girl did: "First, she said, criminals don't ask for permission to commit crimes. And, second, students are more vulnerable if their freedom to arm themselves is taken away," then maybe it will get through to some of these idiot liberals who want to ban all guns all over.

How do you think she made herself a target? If anything, the bad guys know NOT to tangle with her because she MIGHT be carrying.Originally Posted by WinterBoarder
He's speaking about the fact that she will now be known as a "person who carries a gun" and the left will target her...

I'm thinking he means the fact that she states her gun is carried in her purse..
1st off body carry is a WHOLE different conversation, but telling someone where you carry and HOW is setting yourself up (should a criminal knowingly want to attack someone they know is carrying a gun) for failure.
Would be funny if a bad guy grabbed her purse to get her JFrame or LCR or whatever, then found out (the hard way) she had an HK45 IWB or something. =P
Others opposed to weapons on campus have said guns don't belong in an environment where students are experimenting with sex, drugs and alcohol, and that concealed weapons could add chaos in a crisis.

Don't worry about the drug part which is illegal but let's worry about the legal concealed carry of gun which someone may use to protect themselves from a meth head who want to rape or kill.
Good for her, hopefully more people follow.

We know where she lives, we know where she goes to school, we know what she looks like, we know her name, we know how and where she carries.
Your assuming that she is telling hte whole truth. My mentor would tell people that he carried a large framed revolver, He really carried a semi-auto. His philosophy was that someone could accuse him of a crime with a wrong descrition of his firearm.
She may say one thing and the truth may be another with concerns to how or what she carries. Personally, I believe concealed means concealed and that what and how you carry is your business only.

I did a real quick Google search and found a number of hits that seemed to confirm what she said.
