So you agree that uni students in the US are probably not, across the board, the best population for arming en masse? In which case we agree, eh?
But what is genuine need?
As for Israel, or Somalia, or Saudi Arabia, or Pakistan, or Russia, many things are different. As for Israel, what is actually beneficial is the military service culture which (correct me if I'm wrong) mandates all youth to service for a brief period, thereby training them and indoctrinating them to weapon safety. And, Israel has always been more or less in a state of seige since its founding, hasn't it? And does Israel permit their uni students to carry concealed handguns?
The only thing besieging Wisconsin in recent times is snow, and mosquitoes but fortunately not at the same time.

In california eg, you also need to demonstrate a genuine need for a concealed firearm.
To the comment about gun crime after control laws are introduced, our own experience in australia has shown that's not the case. There was already a downward trend before the laws were enacted which continued at the same rate afterwards.
