But not.

Dealer Eric Thompson spoke at the school Thursday night as part of a weeklong demonstration in favor of allowing people to carry concealed weapons at colleges.

"For people who want to arm themselves, there shouldn't be policies in place to stop them," Thompson told about 60 students who attended his talk. There were only a few anti-gun questions posed to Thompson, and none of the protests school officials prepared for.

... "I just have a feeling there's a special responsibility I've been given," he said, "to try to help change people's opinions."

Messiah complex, anyone? Or just plain good business sense. Hmm. You be the judge.


We're missing the best part here, though:

Members of the student group <Students for concealed carry>, which claims a membership of 25,000 nationwide and 200 at Virginia Tech, are wearing empty holsters to classes this week to protest laws and policies that restrict concealed weapons on campuses. Thompson said donations from his customers helped him provide hundreds of holsters on nearly 30 college campuses.

Gee. That timing is just coincidental, I guess. Not crass and ugly at all.
