Grab your license to carry n start dropping these fools man
@philadelphiaUser1998916010 only thing you need a license for in this city now is to conceal carry. They deemed open carry legal here now no matter where you are in Pennsylvania.
What is going on with Villanova that every other month something is happening?
Someone didn’t want to take an exam
Trying to terrorize college kids? WOW.
@philadelphiaUser1998916010 that won't end well. Look up what happened at Polytechnic in Greece. It was college students that overthrew the Junta dictatorship in the 1970s. And I'm convinced students will take this one down too.
