Student Mentions CCW in Class Presentation, Prof Calls Cops

[SoCal M1 Shooter]

The Volokh Conspiracy - Professor Files Complaint With Police Based on College Student's Class Presentation in Favor of Concealed Carry:

Sometimes it's hard not to wish ill on someone, especially someone like the professor in this story. Yet I find myself wondering-- without actually wishing ill, mind you-- how this dumb, mean-spirited lib might change her outlook if she experienced a hot break-in at 3:00 a.m. one morning.

From a comment given:

Although I am all against PC running amok, I can see one possible explanation that would make sense:

During the presentation, Wahlberg said something about personally carrying concealed weapons on campus--which could be a violation not only of University policy but also the law.

IF Wahlberg said something along those lines, then the professor would not only have a reason to call the police, but the police would also have a reason to investigate.

I am not saying that is what happened, just providing the one alternative that makes this NOT a "nutty professor acting like a liberal PC loon" story.

This is as sad as it gets!

I can see NO possible explanation about what the silly bitch did. Other than she was a whining leftist afraid of the truth. Kumbaya

Are they afraid of exchanging new & different ideas? I thought that's what college was about.

My heart saddens at the thought of all who have died to preserve our rights to speak when I hear this kind of nonesense.

Always remember, freedom of speech only applies if you are one of the elite liberals ! If you are (GASP) a gun owner, all bets are off and their is NO first amendment.

In checking the link, I see it's in Conn, obviously a liberal college (are there any other kinds?).

Here in Texas (see my profile), the NRA has informed us that our legislature is considering a bill to allow CCW holder students to carry concealed on campus. As I watch it, I may have to contact my state legislators although I believe my local ones are fully pro-gun.

Stay tuned.

If they were all conservative, progress would be stifled. Colleges are places to exchange ideas and learn, not places to be indoctrinated with the status quo.

I think there a re a lot of conservative colleges, many with religious affiliation.

"Colleges should be liberal"

Was that sarcasm? All the liberals I know are far more indoctrinated than conservatives and pretty well incapable of exchange of ideas. But that's just around these parts...

If I got a call like that, I think I would have to charge the idiot with misuse of 911 and give them a free trip to jail.
If the student spoke in favor of perverts, the idiot would have thought it was so wonderful, that's just like a liberal!
