I was just in the thread about how freepers are responding, talking about why I don't like concealed carry. You hit the nail on the head:

I work at a public university and half my students and most of my colleagues are batshit crazy.

The problem as I see it, is that concealed carry turns things into a localized version of mutual assured destruction. We're being put in the position where we will be forced to carry, because we don't know if the drooling freeper standing on the corner eating dogshit has a gun, and is looking for a way to assure himself that he is a Real Man, contrary to all the facts. Those assholes are crazy, and they fantasize about John Wayne and Clint Eastwood, and they are much more likely to see a threat and act out their superhero fantasies regardless of whether there is a threat or not.
