My daughter went to college and her apartment neighborhood was a crap hole. She was followed home several times, she was ticketed by campus safety for carrying mace and a knife. 20 to 25% of college women get sexually assaulted and you present one annicdotal example of your agenda.

And some people make a game out of it by betting on it, that's totally sick.

Addendum:
Read the edit history of the OP, shameful original post.

2. If it wasn't for ancidotal evidence

The anti-gunners would have no ammunition.

Any vacation photos to share?

4. It happened Wednesday which would be the 14th.

It is in the Chron article. Helps to read the article you cite.

6. As long as...

...someone is shot and killed...
...I mean shot...
...I mean...


...something bad happened.

8. So excited about an incident in the campus carry program that he couldn't bother with details.

9. besides, it made the media on Friday...

...I'm not sure if it matters if it's not covered.

5. Student or not would seem to be an important piece of information.

7. Bet it was a crappy old glock or another striker fired pistol

of some sort with a 5-6# trigger.

New inexperienced carriers are often guided toward service type pistols because there's no safety to worry about in the event of a life threatening situation. But these noobies also have bad habits that are better suited for a safety or at the least a nice DA/SA hammer fired pistol.

10. Total agreement

I still have a Springfield XD40, but with the notable exception of an EAA Witness Elite Match that I bought for Corporate Challenge, all my newer semi-auto pistols are DA/SA with a hard DA trigger pull.

There is one new wheel-gun (a Ruger SP-101 .327 with a 4-inch barrel). that I bought for a female friend of the family to use to become familiar with revolvers. It shoots everything from .32 ACP to .327 Magnum, which makes it both a fun range toy and a good gun for the glove box. What you have is a small-frame 6-shot with 95% of the muzzle energy of a .357 round, all ready to go by just pulling the trigger. Throw in a couple of speed-loaders, and you have more than enough firepower to handle any situation that you should ever find yourself in as a civilian.

Face it - if this isn't enough, then you are in the REALLY wrong place at the REALLY wrong time.

11. tip of the iceberg

Accidental Gunshot Is Reported on Texas Campus That Now Allows Firearms
... caused no injuries and only minor property damage.

... that is just the first one that was noticed, and reported.
My money is that there were others, just either not reported and/ or covered up.

If an accidental gunshit in the woods is not heard by anyone but the shooter, does it make a sound?

12. "My money is that there were others, just either not reported and/ or covered up."

I've got an idea: Why don't you ask that nice Sergeant Colon to help you find out for us?

"Sergeant Colon had had a broad education. He'd been to the School of My Dad Always Said, the College of It Stands to Reason, and was now a post-graduate student at the University of What Some Bloke In the Pub Told Me."
