Here's what prompted the campus carry debate in Nevada. I'll try to keep this short.
On 1/20/08 Brianna Denison was abducted from a friend's house in Reno. Her body was discovered on 2/15/08 after being raped and murdered by a serial rapist. In November that year James Biela who was 27 at the time and from Sparks, NV was arrested and DNA found at the crime scene positively linked him to both the murder on Brianna and a previous sexual assault.
Now here's what started the campus carry debate. The gal that was raped prior to Brianna's murder was at the University of Nevada, Reno parking gagage. She had a permit to carry but didn't because she was on campus. She has since testified that had she been carrying she very possibly could have defended herself and probably prevented the death of Brianna Denison.
There is so much more to the story but the UNR rape is why we are trying to allow CCW holders the right to carry on campus, and yes I'm all for it.
