I agree that no piece of paper is worth risking your life. She has made quite an effort to work with the campus administration and security, and instead of quietly handling the situation so that the student is safe, it became a national news story. If I were working in a college that allowed CCW and read this article, I'd be pushing the administration to send her some serious scholarships. If I were her, I might just carry in spite of the rules - if she does it right, who would know? Hard for me to say what I would do without having her experiences.
LOL - I love the wasp spray discussions making the rounds lately. Doubt the young lady could hide a 20oz spray can as easily as a .380 or the like. And what happens when she runs into a wasp nest and runs out just before her stalker attacks? As far as I know, there is no spare clip for a can of spray. Had the stalker been dealt with appropriately by the law in the first place - say, a judiciously placed lead pill - she would not be having these problems. Good thing we're all paying to "re-educate" him.
