It was implied that it was visible. If it was on his ankle, in his pocket, or in a concealed holster, it would not have said "it was under a cloth". It would have said "it was under his pants, on his ankle" or "it was under his shirt".

Clearly a false report. No gunman could be on campus, since it's a gun free zone.

What drives people to massacre each other like this? What is wrong with them? I will never understand. "like this"? Someone may or may not be carrying a gun. There is no need for responses like yours. It's like saying "Oh, God, fires claiming innocent lives is such a tragic thing!" in response to a fire bell being pulled.
There was no need for your response either, it's blatantly clear from the first line in his post that he is full aware no one has been shot as of yet.
It shouldn't come as a surprise that a potential gunman at a school brings up certain emotions either.

Still, legal outside of campus. I'm not saying for sure that this man was simply unaware of the rules for the campus, just that it is a possibility.

Yes, we get it, you support the left wing. Make your own thread about gun laws, don't troll someone's already existing one.

I challenge you to get a concealed carry permit, and draw your pistol in a city, in front of multiple police officers. I promise you it is not legal to have your gun OUT in public. Not outside of your house, drawn.

Wow I really hope this isnt true... scary thoughts man.

Did I ever say drawn?
"It was implied that it was visible".
My response, "Still, legal outside of campus".
Visible does not mean drawn. Visible is in fact legal in Virginia. You don't need to conceal it.

You know..if it's not your long winded, haughty posts it's batshit insanity...I'm starting to get you now.
At least you can actually, effectively communicate. I was almost fooled.
Although, hey, let's keep with these broad, sweeping generalizations of an entire countries police force. I like this style too.

I'm really tired and need to go sleep.
Shut the fuck up derailing this. Tell your friends about this if they are in the area. I dont want to hear your gun debate drivel. Im just IP banning everyone who continues it.

Schools go on lockdown all the time for stuff like this. The only reason this is news is because it's VTech and the media knows it can hype this story because people will be interested in it.

A question regarding the alert system. Why not just a simple speaker broadcast system around the campus, since it easily beats text messages/email anyday.

Could spook the alleged gun carrier.

I really hope that there isn't a repeat of 2007; the events then were really tragic and a repeat would be even more traumatic for the people of that school and the surrounding area. =\

I know that Delaware Technical and Community College has one of these systems. I think some combination of the two would be best, because people who live off campus may still try to go to class in the afternoon.
