(331 posts)the professor has been the victim of, or even been threatened with, physical violence under the current system. Surely the moral barrier to punch a professor is much lower than the one to shoot a professor. If professors are worried about violent responses to poor grades, why do we not hear about them now?
If someone is not a threat to perpetuate violence off-campus what suddenly changes to make them a threat when they cross the street onto campus? Either CCW is a threat both on campus and off, or it is a threat in neither place. There really is no reason that someone who has been vetted and licensed to carry a weapon in public off campus should not be trusted to carry on campus. Either s/he is trustworthy everywhere or s/he is not trustworthy anywhere.
