Armed students on campus may sound like a good idea but in reality it is a recipe for disaster. Assume a crazed person invades campus and begins shooting people. Upon hearing gunshots, several armed students pull handguns from their backpacks and start looking for the shooter. So now we have a crazed shooter plus several armed students roaming through campus. Neither the armed students nor responding police officers would have any way of knowing who is the shooter and who is a Good Samaritan. The downside risk is too great.
