Court houses, most state capitals, most state and federal office buildings and airports all have a hardened outer perimeter with metal detectors and armed personnel to man the metal detectors, prevent people from bypassing the perimeter and ensure the safety of the people inside of the building.

Doing the same for a university campus would at a minimum be prohibitively expensive, if not impossible.

I'm thinking of starting my own petition, RE: Colleges and gun law [View all] Nuclear Unicorn Oct 2015 OP

You really yearn for the Destruction of Higher Education, don't you? stone space Oct 2015 #1

Imposing your personal prejudices on a captive audience isn't education, higher or lower. Nuclear Unicorn Oct 2015 #2

Your Anti-Education agenda is clear. (nt) stone space Oct 2015 #4

Taxpayers aren't paying for teachers to bully students. Nuclear Unicorn Oct 2015 #6

Guns on campus bully both students and faculty. (nt) stone space Oct 2015 #7

No they don't by virtue of the fact they pay armed cops to maintain a presence on campus. Nuclear Unicorn Oct 2015 #8

K&R'd for visibility (nt) stone space Oct 2015 #3

I'll K&R it for visibility also, GGJohn Oct 2015 #9

Good. The NRA groupies here need to either own this, or disown this. stone space Oct 2015 #11

And that pic is supposed to prove what? GGJohn Oct 2015 #12

It proves that faculty are willing to stand up to those who would destroy education. (nt) stone space Oct 2015 #14

If they're violating state law, GGJohn Oct 2015 #15

I am sure if they feel so inclined Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #19

yes, and Kim Davis was standing up to those gejohnston Oct 2015 #39

They are standing up in front of the Main Building. Hangingon Oct 2015 #48

forgotten facts Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #107

Here is my K&R Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #18

Do you believe in defunding entire Departments, also? (nt) stone space Oct 2015 #20

If the department heads are complicit in the offense? Yes. Otherwise they should Nuclear Unicorn Oct 2015 #22

I expect faculty to follow the law Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #23

Faculty would "disrupt the learning environment." Gidney N Cloyd Oct 2015 #10

I take it you're unfamiliar with the poster who assures us he would refuse to teach if Nuclear Unicorn Oct 2015 #13

I'd cancel class immediately and call the cops if I saw a gun in my classroom. stone space Oct 2015 #16

Sickening Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #24

This is a blatant and knowing lie and should be hidden. stone space Oct 2015 #31

Well, then by all means, GGJohn Oct 2015 #33

OK. Here's the Jury Results. stone space Oct 2015 #49

the ones that voted to hide Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #52

They know "guns kill people" and "NRA bad" ileus Oct 2015 #60

I know Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #62

Basically every one uses it as a weapon....just like the alert function. ileus Oct 2015 #66

Skinner said they are going to tweek it Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #67

The hidden post was a blatant lie. stone space Oct 2015 #110

you mean like the ones you posted about me? Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #112

I seem to remember you had a couple of blatant lies GGJohn Oct 2015 #118

Cops use guns. You explicitly claim you will call the cops. Nuclear Unicorn Oct 2015 #35

I would laugh Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #41

I hope the police you call Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #45

You would make sure the cops you call were unarmed when they showed up in your classroom, right? n/t shadowrider Oct 2015 #25

Do you think that school shootings are a joke? stone space Oct 2015 #26

If your state passes just such a law that allows for CC in state colleges, GGJohn Oct 2015 #27

If I believe there is a gun in my classroom, class is cancelled immediately and... stone space Oct 2015 #28

Again, GGJohn Oct 2015 #30

He can't answer Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #42

Calling someone a mass-murderer and having them arrested sounds actionable. Nuclear Unicorn Oct 2015 #29

Totally unrelated to anything I said. stone space Oct 2015 #36

You said, "I'm not going to allow myself and my students to become targets." That's you claiming Nuclear Unicorn Oct 2015 #38

If I believe there to be a gun in my classroom, I will... stone space Oct 2015 #50

so will you finally PLEASE answer Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #53

What would this law abiding student Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #43

It's a simple yes or no question. shadowrider Oct 2015 #37

And we know how well Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #44

how many school shootings gejohnston Oct 2015 #40

He will never answer Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #46

A joke? Straw Man Oct 2015 #79

I agree with SS here, unless the firearm was OC'd there is no reason for a CC'd firearm to ileus Oct 2015 #34

How do you see a properly Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #47

No, actually, I did read that post. Gidney N Cloyd Oct 2015 #17

At least you're sticking to your progressive guns on this one. ileus Oct 2015 #32

Your proposal to defund Higher Education is Scorched Earth Politics of the worse kind. stone space Oct 2015 #51

well that is not what he said Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #54

What do you think defunding entire Academic Departments would do to a State University? stone space Oct 2015 #55

only public money as you would be limiting the rights of Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #56

Why should my Department be totally defunded just because of me? stone space Oct 2015 #57

Easy follow the law or quit Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #58

What exactly have I done to justify my entire Department being destroyed by defunding? stone space Oct 2015 #59

You are probably right Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #61

No, I should NOT "just be fired"! stone space Oct 2015 #63

Why Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #64

It's my job. stone space Oct 2015 #65

Because YOU do not get to make law, that is reserved for the legislature Lurks Often Oct 2015 #68

What have I done to you for you to want me fired? stone space Oct 2015 #70

this would be a good reason for you to be fired Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #73

That is NOT a good reason to have me fired. stone space Oct 2015 #76

You seem to have a pattern of fibbing about what others have said, GGJohn Oct 2015 #120

Why do you ALWAYS lie about what people post? Lurks Often Oct 2015 #75

He seems to think he is Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #71

Well sir, I have worked for the last Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #69

The context is the REAL world, not your FANTASY world. stone space Oct 2015 #72

And if it were legal Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #74

"I will cancel class immediately and call the police." Simple question: For what legal reason? friendly_iconoclast Oct 2015 #81

The gun. (nt) stone space Oct 2015 #84

The cops will take a rather dim view of your invention of a nonexistent crime friendly_iconoclast Oct 2015 #88

And then you could be charged for abuse of the 911 system, GGJohn Oct 2015 #121

Sorry, but I just don't buy your threats. stone space Oct 2015 #130

It's a statement of fact, not a threat. Lurks Often Oct 2015 #133

I'm not threatening you, GGJohn Oct 2015 #134

And if it is legal in your state Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #82

Only in your dreams! stone space Oct 2015 #90

Since that is essentially Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #92

How do you differ from Kim Davis, aside from the subject of your special pleading? friendly_iconoclast Oct 2015 #93

He says he teaches Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #96

Are you aware that filing a false police report is a crime in most places? friendly_iconoclast Oct 2015 #85

Are you accusing me of filing a false report? stone space Oct 2015 #89

Not if you haven't called the cops about something that you know quite well is legal... friendly_iconoclast Oct 2015 #91

That makes two of us Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #95

If I believe there to be a gun in my classroom, then... stone space Oct 2015 #97

Trying to play the victim now? Lol Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #102

Bringing a gun to my class is not following the law. stone space Oct 2015 #103

The op and all of this discussion Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #104

Maybe not at this time, GGJohn Oct 2015 #123

Calling the police on a student Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #94

You know absolutely nothing about the law. stone space Oct 2015 #99

Lol Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #100

I just don't know why you think you can bring a gun to my class and not be arrested. stone space Oct 2015 #101

As I have stated many times and so does the OP Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #105

As I have stated many times over, ... stone space Oct 2015 #108

Then why are you commenting Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #111

If you called the cops on a student legally CC'ing, GGJohn Oct 2015 #122

Maybe... discntnt_irny_srcsm Oct 2015 #124

It sounds to me like Mr Space is full of himself. GGJohn Oct 2015 #125

on the contrary... discntnt_irny_srcsm Oct 2015 #126

I'm just going to leave this here without comment. beevul Oct 2015 #128

yep Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #127

How could it be destroyed? I rather doubt you are either a) the only instructor, or b) irreplaceable friendly_iconoclast Oct 2015 #77

Totally defunding the Department of Mathematics here would destroy it. stone space Oct 2015 #78

Why would the entire department be defunded, instead of merely firing those disobeying the law? friendly_iconoclast Oct 2015 #80

Follow the law Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #86

I know, right Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #83

No, professor Big_Mike Oct 2015 #114

Be careful Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #115

"I'm not wrong about the law." Yes, you are, whether you choose to believe it or not friendly_iconoclast Oct 2015 #117
