Is that it has zero impact on shootings. Is some person intent on shooting up a school going to say, "wait, what, I can't carry here, that means I can't take my gun on campus"? If someone's goal is to kill someone else the fact that they can't legally carry a concealed weapon isn't going to dissuade them. So anyway, a pointless law but whatever.
