Keep those guns off campus!

(CNN) — A six-hour lockdown prompted by a fatal shooting near a Virginia campus was lifted as police continued a search for the gunman.  Students at Radford University southwest of Roanoke were told to lock their doors and stay inside early Friday, after a man was fatally shot in the chest in a residential area a couple of blocks away.

I guess you are relying on your ability to hide during the lockdown  huh?  If you weren’t a champion hide n seek player at age 9 I guess you are in big trouble.

Just to make sure we have the Radford University Student Code of Conduct….

45. Weapons

The unauthorized use, possession or storage of firearms, ammunition, weapons or realistic replicas of weapons on Radford University Property. Firearms are defined as any weapon that fires projectiles. Weapons include any object or substance designed or used to inflict a wound, cause injury or incapacitate. Paintball guns may not be used or stored on Radford University property without prior approval from the Office of the Dean of Students.

Yep, there it is.  Trust me, you aren’t authorized…, the only ones are the only ones authorized, You aren’t allowed to have a replica of a chance either…I know I’d feel a whole lot better if I were forcibly disarmed while a gunman roams the area…this is a knee slapper here….

A spokesman for Radford University police told CNN that the shooter had not been captured and that investigators believed that neither the victim nor the gunman were students.  He would not explain why police believed the campus was safe.

Yes he’s probably still out there…but trust us you’re safe…  This is what they tell you in the macro sense of society as well.  There are plenty of  maniacs out there, but trust us…you’re safe…even though we have no obligation to ensure your particular personal safety.  And in several places they tell you this and also tell you…”and oh by the way you cannot have a handgun either…”  Say at like Radford University.

UPDATE:  You know I wrote the “hide ‘n seek” champion stuff this morning, then all hell breaks loose in Binghamton, N.Y.  Low and behold the hide and seek thing was prophetic…

Police heard no gunfire after they arrived but waited for about an hour before entering the building to make sure it was safe for officers. They then spent two hours searching the building.

No, I’m not making it up….you really did have to be a hide ‘n seek champion to survive…the police get there and then wait an hour before going in to the building?  What the hell?  Yet we should stay disarmed and call 911??  No I don’t want officers gunned down…but isn’t that their job to go in and stop the killing with some more killing?  I don’t ever want to hear the crap from the anti’s and other pants wetters about leaving things to the police…
