re: Gus Malzahn policy on firearms and players

During my time at Auburn, it was nice to be able to walk around on campus and not worry about needing to defend myself with a gun for any reason. I understand it's a right, but all rights should be exercised with judgement, not recklessness. If someone decides that he/she needs to carry a gun for 'self-protection' at a place like Auburn University, I would question his/her intelligence and sanity.

I'm sure people thought the same thing on April 15th, 2007 in Blacksburg.

I carried most days when I was at school. Its gotten to the point where I feel like I left something when I don't carry.

I know the chances of me ever "needing" my pistol are extremely slim, but if I ever do "need" it I know I have it.
