“When they passed this law it was bound to happen.”

That’s [the quote in the title of this post] Idaho State University president Arthur Vailas, commenting on an “unfortunate” incident on campus:
.

    Just into the second week of fall classes, a Idaho State University professor has literally shot himself in the foot and provided one answer to the question of “What could go wrong?” on the growing number of college campuses that allow the concealed carry of firearms.
.
    The unnamed professor was teaching a class of roughly 20 students at the Physical Science building yesterday when his handgun—pocketed, but not holstered—accidentally discharged, Lieutenant Paul Manning of the Pocatello Police Department told The Daily Beast.

All the people who think having guns on campus sounds like a good idea because of freedom and the 2nd Amendment and whatever else, go ahead and gunsplain this to me.

Is this guy a responsible gun owner? A good guy with a gun? How exactly would we have known that he wasn’t responsible or a good guy before he shot himself (and, obviously, might very well have shot others)?
