Should guns be banned from universities?

In light of the recent shooting that occurred at NIU last Friday, a reporter stopped me on Sun and asked me for an interview. She asked me whether or not guns should be allowed on campuses. I hemmed and hawed and gave her an "I don't really know" answer and then the interview went like this:
Me: "Yes I think guns should be allowed on campuses."
her: "Oh, really? And why is that?"
me: shrugged my shoulders a bit and had no idea why I said that in the first place.
her: "well do you think that people should be kept safe?"
me: "Yes I think that people should be able to protect themselves . . . and uh . . . " silence
her: "is that is?"
me: "yes it is"
her: " no that's totally fine. That was what I was looking for."

Now that I think about it I'm not so sure exactly where I stand on that issue. Yes I am a student and I would hate for anything like that to happen on my campus and I think I'd feel safer if there were people allowed to carry a concealed weapon who really knew how to use it properly. And yet on the other hand I don't know if I want guns allowed on campus because I walk on campus with Levi all the time and I wouldn't want anything to happen to him or to me.

Matt thinks it would be safer if they allowed the guns because it is easier if someone walks into class with a pulled gun and there is someone who has a concealed weapon permit to just pull out their gun and shoot the person.

I'm still undecided and it is keeping me awake just thinking about it. Maybe because I had 2 people tell me that they saw me on the news. School was out today because of the holiday but will anyone else mention seeing me on tv when I go to classes this week? Was all of this really worth buying a newspaper in front of the ISU Library on Sunday? Oh that is what I was doing when I was asked to give the interview.
