Students should not be allowed to carry handguns on campus, period and cc for staff and faculty who wish to(I bet most won't). One problem I can see with your particular plan is liability. Say you agree to be a vol sec specialist and you fail to act, further, what if someone takes your gun from you and uses it for harm? Are you derelict in your duties for either failing to act or having been negligent for lack of control of your firearm? Don't get me wrong, I'm for cc and personal protection. I don't trust the system or the responsibility-bucking youth of today to be the solution.
I was an RA in the "football dorm" at ASU for 2 yrs. I have seen some very intelligent, responsible people do some seriously stupid shit based on emotion. Firearms do not have a place in todays college campus life. As sad as that is, IT IS. WE are becoming more and more desensitized as a species to violence. People don't have respect for anything anymore, life, liberty or the pursuit of happiness. The value of a life is important, they might not all be precious, but they are important. We will always have nut jobs that hurt people, we just have to keep things in perspective. Laws won't prevent gun violence on open campuses, neither will the threat of possibly armed students.
