Let me guess...VCU is a gun free campus with a 1000 foot perimeter of “gun-freeness”.
Right?
Yep. When my daughter wrote one night on their facebook page that there was a shooting right outside her apartment during their fire drill, I posted back that this was impossible, because the school was gun-free and so there was no way a criminal would ever risk firing a gun there.
Most of the respondents seem to have gotten the sarcasm.
I understand more than a few kids are carrying weapons despite the ban. They live off-campus, and need the protection, and so they just risk getting caught on campus (having the right to carry is useless if you have to go places where they prohibit guns).
