Security begins with permissive weapon possession. Everyone there is at risk..A university campus is no exception. Kirk was as much at risk as everyone in that event. He just happened to be a known public figure and an intended target of the shooter. This is the only reason we hear about this shooting and no other shootings in Utah.
