Needless to say, the 37-year-old man who, according to police, brought a concealed handgun to the Augusta High School graduation ceremony Sunday afternoon was not a responsible gun owner. In addition to his reckless decision to hide the gun in his sock, a sign at the entrance of Hillier Stadium clearly indicated that it was a gun-free zone. But the accidental discharge of his weapon – in which the bullet struck his foot and then ricocheted and struck a woman in the leg – is raising understandable concerns about the potential danger of other such accidents, especially when concealed guns are allowed on college campuses beginning July 1, 2017.
