“Given there have been more courthouse shootings this year, I think any law abiding citizen should be allowed to practice concealed carry.”

— Troy Cochran, law enforcement officer, Arkansas City

“The courthouse already has metal detectors, so they should too because it is a government building.”

— Sean Gilmore, student, Lawrence

“I would not allow concealed carry. In fact, having concealed carry seems to necessitate metal detectors.”

— William Sanders, graduate teaching assistant, Lawrence

“They should install metal detectors. I do not like concealed carry.”

— Lyndsey Horner, student, Lawrence
