CU-Boulder faculty chairman says he'll cancel his classes if students carry guns
Boulder Camera ^ | 21 Aug 2012 | Brittany Anas

The state Supreme Court has made it clear that the University of Colorado can't stop students with concealed-carry permits from bringing their guns to campus. But the chairman of the Boulder Faculty Assembly says if he ever discovers that any of his students are armed, class is over.

CU physics professor Jerry Peterson -- speaking for himself Monday, not the faculty group he leads -- said he wants his students to feel safe to engage in classroom discussions that could be controversial.

Well, Dr. Jerry, let's get something straight here. You're paid to teach a class and teach you will. Refusing to teach the class -- simply because you oppose the Second Amendment rights of some students -- is not an acceptable option. Do so and you will be fired.

Get it?

Fire his ass then. I love how the left loves the law...until it doesn’t. Take down a cross in the middle of the desert because it may offend a vulture, fine....but follow the law when it comes to this, no thanks.

I would carry every single day... surreptitiously snapping pics of my properly holstered firearm printing. At the end of the term, after I get my grades, I’d email this ahole. Bonus if you manage to get the prof in the pic with the gun.

Jerry,
What part of “conceal” don’t you understand?

You can ask and demand all you want, but nobody is obligated to answer your question.

Or, are you just looking for an excuse to frisk your students?

I wished I could cancel my university classes back then when all my teachers were liberals..

Would he also fear some steroid freakazoid, because both are relatively unstoppable in the right environment.

But, at least, if a smaller weaker person has a gun, he can also stop another armed individual.

A scary idiot creating new idiot victims
Proof that even intelligent "professors" can be devoid of judgement and common sense.

No word of what he'll do if a criminal, unlikely to have any permits of any kind, is discovered to have a firearm.

My guess is die.... which is fine with me so long as no one else dies. Great of him to make the decision for all his students!

The professor is just trying to cause trouble. If a Concealed Carry student had a gun at Virginia Tech Un., CSU, etc., maybe dozens of student and faculty would still be alive.

I’m sure that Peterson is going to protect his students from an armed threat by barring the assailant from his classroom, with words.

At VTU, a Holocaust survivor professor held his classroom door closed long enough to permit his students to escape out the window, before he was shot down in cold blood.

Peterson will never match the personal courage of this murdered professor. He’s a bad joke who may get his students killed by his stupidity.

I think its a good thing. It will give him time to look for a real job.

The students will be better off if Jerry Peterson stays home forever and spends his time beating his wife/boyfriend and choking his chicken instead of spouting his liberal B/S.

You bring up a good point.

What would be so controversial in physics that somebody would lose their cool?

It seems this professor goes beyond his stated mandate of what he has been hired to teach. That seems to give cause as to why he should be fired.

I’m cool with that.

They are probably better off without this a-wipe taching anyway.

I hope he is a man of his word.

Don't let the door hit you in your sorry ass on your way out! Better still, stay in class with an unarmed student body and get your ass blown away the next time some nutcase walks into your classroom!
