One has to ignor the FACTS that Gun Free Zones (GFZ) are neither free nor safe, that these mass-shootings occur most often in GFZ's and that when seconds count the cops are there in minutes.  An open place and space like UAA and UAF are easy targets unfortunately.  I recommend 2 things:  A carry permit (training implied) and membership with an organization similar to CCW Safe to protect the good guy/gal if the unfortunate situation ever occurs that one must acts in a self-defense situation.  It is a grave responsibility to carry but we make the bar so low no one can carry in many locations except our LEO's.
