This quote from a CNN article kinda pisses me off.

"You are responsible for your own safety," yet you can't arm yourself. This applies only to students having shotguns/rifles since you have to be 21 to own a handgun.

A bill that would have given college students and employees the right to carry handguns on campus died with nary a shot being fired in the General Assembly.

Virginia Tech spokesman Larry Hincker was happy to hear the bill was defeated. "I'm sure the university community is appreciative of the General Assembly's actions because this will help parents, students, faculty and visitors feel safe on our campus."
