Regarding ("Lecturer calls for boycott of Utah schools," Oct. 17):

It is absurd to allow lethal weapons, concealed or otherwise, on any university campus,

— or church

— or school

— or playground

— or movie theater

— or grocery store

— or theme park

— or any other public place etc., etc. and etc.

Guess what, folks? Lethal weapons are lethal. They kill people!
