"That is a recipe for disaster. People can protect themselves without bringing guns to campus."

"As long as you have a permit and follow all the laws and take full responsibility for your actions, I would be okay with it."

"I think that it is a bad idea. Tacoma already has a problem with crime and violence. Allowing guns could make it worse."

"If properly licensed and registered, I think that students should be allowed to carry concealed weapons."

"That would cost [all three] UW campuses more harm in the end. Money should be put into more 24-hour security... and giving self-defense classes."

"To my knowledge, there is no law that prohibits carrying a firearm on a college campus."

"Having to walk... to and from campus in such an unsafe area without the right to carry a concealed weapon is ridiculous. If you have a permit, it should be allowed."

"With a campus as small and as safe as ours, guns would make things less safe. Accidents happen with them. Our dynamic is different than Seattle."
