New signs ban guns

"There haven?t been a lot of firearms here in the past," she said, "and I?m not worried that this law has brought any more to campus. The signs are to make sure we?re in compliance."

Dean of Students Greg Kneser is not worried about an increase in guns on campus either.

"I don?t anticipate problems," he said. "There wasn?t a great problem before. I?m more concerned with the perception people have about what St. Olaf is doing about this."

This is a perfect demonstration of the idiocy involved in the debate on concealed-carry from those not directly involved. There hasn't been a firearm problem at this college in the past, they aren't worried about an increase... so why ban concealed-carry? For a public relations stunt, of course.

I wonder how their public relations stunt will hold up if someone is raped or killed on campus because they could not carry a defensive firearm?
