Thinking of carrying a stun gun in stead of a real firearm?

Oregon, but I'm going to school in Ohio, and the dorm bans all 'weapons' (thank the innumerable gods of darkness that a folding knife isn't considered a weapon if its less than 3 inches of blade). And since I was nevered involved in anything related with firearms (both my parents don't care for them much, Hell, they didn't even like it when I started carrying 2-3 pocket knives), I've never even touched a real gun, much less fired one (though I do I have a neat air pistol thats fun to plink with in the backyard...too bad its considered a weapon...). However, I did a short essay on concealed carry last year for a writing class, and it got into researching other firearms related stuff, which was bolstered by the research paper I did for my next writing class...again on concealed carry (albeit much more in depth and with alot more citations). So I went from being someone that didn't really care about all that 2nd Amendment non-sense (mainly because I didn't know how hard they were trying to actaully destroy the 2nd Amendment) to being a pretty die hard opponent of gun control in almost all forms. Which is ironic because I started out mainly by reading pro-gun control stuff, it was just so asstastically retarded that I realized "if this is the best they can come up with, then why in the 7 hells are people still taking them seriously?" And I figured if I was going to support gun rights then I might as well get some practical experience with guns, but since I don't know any gunnies I figured the best place to start would be a basic handgun course, which I can't do until summer 'cause of college and stuff.

Well that was an intersting tangent, I hope I didn't bore anyone with that somewhat longwinded paragraph.
