Now, unless I am greatly mistaken, no authorization is going to be issued to you from a school head to UOC. So, forget that. Your chance of getting to CC on campus may be more obtainable, but I wouldn't want to bet on it. It's been brought up, but I want to hit on it again. Do you want to take the chance of having a stray bullet hit some innocent bystander and killing them? What if several people are hit by stray bullets? What if your bullet hits a young man or woman who is a spouse as well as a parent? Do you want to live with that haunting you the rest of your life?
Now consider this, you have already been attacked and obviously survived. Is being assaulted reason enough to kill someone? Should you be attacked again, do you want to take the responsibility of pulling a firearm and shooting your assailant when the assailant may have nothing more in mind than beating you up, or taking your money, or just scaring you? You do not want to pull your firearm unless you intend to kill someone with it. Is that what you want as your choice should you be attacked again? The decision to draw a firearm and using it is predicated on the "belief" that your life is being threatened and, should the perpetrator succeed, you will die or will be severely injured. In my opinion, anything less than that does not warrant the use of a firearm.
You should take your own advice. Stay with groups of people. You should walk with friends to and from classes. Never walk alone.
The issue is that I often have to go to school in the early morning or late night, when there are few people around for me to walk with. I plan on taking a CCW training course and applying for a permit.
Obviously, I'd only use the firearm if an attacker cornered me.
And yes, I am willing to take the risk of missing...it's better I miss than remain unarmed and get killed.
