If people are legally allowed to have a gun on campus, the desire for vests is valid. However, the news of CCW permittees carrying (by mistake) into airports and restricted buildings (including schools) and all manner of criminals carrying wherever they please, the desire for vests is unfounded.

I find Mr. Ellington's logic rather questionable unless the campus is secured currently with metal detectors and such. That brings up the other possibility. If a law is passed giving public venues and institutions the choice to ban those carrying a firearm, the price of the metal detectors to enforce that will be much higher.
