I have a great idea (not really). I called WPD and they advised me that it is not illegal to carry a weapon visibly on your body as long as it is in a holster. If you pull it out of the holster is is considered brandishing a weapon. So, why not allow students to just carry a sidearm on their hip. This way a gunman will know students are armed and it will deter them from attacking the campus. If it's not illegal to walk downtown toting a handgun on your hip, why not allow students to do the same in the classroom? It would serve the same purpose, if not more so, than having students carry concealed
Here's an idea
