what is the minimum military enlistment age in the U.S. and the U.K.?
Oh, you mean we can't TRUST 17/18 year-olds to handle weapons of mass destruction and defend our country?
I understand the discomfort factor involved with armed college students. But then we should raise the minimum age for cops and soldiers to 21, right?
btw, the minimum age for a valid resident or non-resident concealed handgun permit to be issued in VA is 21.
there is no info out yet...but my gut tells me that the shooter did not have a concealed carry permit. anyways, he was wearing a tactical vest, so it was obvious (at least to the trained eye) that he was armed.
the shooter killed 2 people in a dorm ... and then two hours later popped into a classroom and killed 30 more like fish in a barrel.
again, if there was just ONE person in that classroom who could have fired back (a professor, a maintenance man, if not another 21 year old licensed student), there might have been a different ending here.
