She is very proud of this photo. She is a big advocate of "concealed weapon" on campus by students. She was allowed to have the photo taken, because she graduated and is not longer a student on the campus.

Yeah. I also just saw that on MSN. I think it was a posed photo.

I'll say the same thing I said on the other forum you posted this on....
She could have easily been shot by someone who thought she was a threat....and I'm not anti gun but unless everyone knew it was just for a photo...then risky.

She was proving a point and, as much as the photo has been seen, looks like she done a darn good job of it.
Read what her cap says on the top.

Well even though I'm pro gun, I don't care for it. My oldest grandson is a freshman at Cal Poly which isn't even known as a Party School but there's plenty of drinking going on.
Would not like to see guns on campus...

I gather that this was a planned photo shoot. The campus is a gun free zone for all. I read another article that had some comments from the Police Officer that was involved with the project.

Imagine the response if the person carrying the cap and weapon were a woman wearing a hijab, a man wearing a turban, or a black man in a hoodie. Just saying...

If she is walking into a gun free zone. Yep. You could take it.

I've seen comments on this on other forums. One of them was "she was just making a statement...."
Yep, but the statement is "I want attention and maybe get on somebody's TV show! I WANT MY 15 MINUTES OF FAME!"
Well, she got it.

IMO she is too immature to be a gun owner.
I don't believe that her message taunting someone to take her gun does anything to help the majority of responsible gun owners.
The responsible gun owners that I know don't take a gun out unless they intend to use it for some legitimate purpose.

Aunt Bea has a point here.

I agree with Aunt Bea. So true.
Its not a photo that screams responsibility!

And according to a video I saw part of on FB, this twit thought she was a victim of racism when being confronted. Huh?!
I don't care what the political statement is, there is a time and place for everything. Political statements should be kept out of events ment for every single one there, not one side or change the other sides mind. The students, parents and friends were there to support and celebrate students who completed their schooling, not political statements or speeches.

Tell that same thing to movie and tv stars who use an awards ceremony as a platform for political stuff.
People want to get their feelings out there and don’t care where or how it’s done.
Welcome to today’s world!
That's what I had in mind. I see too many exploit an opportunity for a specific event for something completely different.

Well, there are some very important people in both Santa Fe, Texas and the state of Texas that want teachers armed. Of course, this means teachers that actually can hold a handgun and have no problem shooting someone. Not all teachers believe in guns and/or ownership of them.
As far as students in high school or college "carrying", well, that is a very controversial subject, but I'm positive there are students in both areas that would be 100% capable of "carrying" and "using" if needed.
