“Yes. If I was to make someone accidentally mad, I’d like to know there’s an official person who knows how to use the gun to protect me.” “No. Most of the things can be dealt with by hand; but there could be patrols in the area.” “Yes. It would keep the campus and students more safe. It would help make us feel more secure.”

“No, because there might be people getting killed. If someone draws a knife and they draw their gun “Yes, I have 2 sons who have been assaulted at school; one had his clavicle broken by bullies, the other was offered drugs in a PVHS bathroom.” “Yes. I’m from Virginia, and that’s how they do it there. It would be more protection

“No, are we going to become another Kent State? College Safety does a great job, but police should not become a fixture in the student’s lives.”
“It depends, if there’s violence, then yes. I haven’t been here long so I don’t know, but I haven’t seen much need for it.”
“Yes, maybe we will need them to protect the students. Just to scare the person who tries to do something.”

“Yes, just for safety. We have police on the streets, and with the concentration of population on the campus, it’s a safety issue.” “Yes, we would feel safer on campus. Besides, they know how to use a firearm.” “Yes. It would provide, more safety. If something bad happened, the officer would be here faster, he wouldn’t have to drive.”

“Yes, it might stop somebody from getting hurt or victimized or prevent vandalism. I always worry about girls getting attacked.” “No. It’s my first year here, and it’s been calm so far. Police with handcuffs would be ok, but not guns.” “No. If anything got out of hand, there’d be backup from other departments. I think it would make the students uncomfortable.”

“Yes, anything could happen. No one expected a bomb threat and all kinds of weapons at my college in New Mexico. It turned out all right, but maybe not next time.”
