jimbo, nobody is saying your daughter HAS to carry a weapon.
Carrying a weapon lawfully carries a huge responsibility (as does driving a car lawfully).
It's not for everyone ... but the relatively few people who do (in VA we assume 1% of the population based on carry permit records, which are public...but maybe not for long) should be allowed to without hindrance.
Again, if you are uncomfortable with students carrying, can you argue with more mature folk like professors and employees and teaching assistants?
