CU-Boulder faculty chairman says he'll cancel his classes if students carry guns

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.

It appears he's one of the *global warming* fanatic fruitcakes, too. Figures.

i guess the whole concept of concealed is lost on this pinhead...

Pretty much.

“He said that in a crisis, citizens with guns could add to the chaos and complicate the police response.”

I hear this nonsense repeated by useful idiots all the time.

Every year, there are countless instances of guns legitimately used for self defense. The estimates range from several hundred thousand up to 3 MILLION incidents in the USA every year. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2910899/posts

Can anyone name a SINGLE incident where the above statement was true?

LOL! You've got me there, Sky! The only thing I know about Hungarian culture is Tokaji Aszu - the more puttonyas the better. :)

You want a Tokay that’s a nine or better.

The sight of a gun makes Jerry pee his pants.

"CU physics professor Jerry Peterson <SNIP> said he wants his students to feel safe to engage in classroom discussions that could be controversial."

I'm merely a physical chemist, but I never saw a physics discussion that was "controversial" enough to raise emotions to the level of spit-ball throwing -- much less pulling a weapon. Methinks "Prof Jerry" 'thinks 'way more highly of himself (and his subject) than he ought'...

I would bet that this “physics professor” expounds a lot a lot about global warming and “green energy”.

Finally! A way to start taking academia back from the collectivist worshipers of Marx. Any other commie profs care to join this pledge?

[Still Thinking]

PLUS — I bet refusing to lecture amounts to a resignation and thus pierces tenure protection!

This guy thinks people are going to get so excited in his class they're going to SHOOT EACH OTHER?? Just how far out on the Marxist limb of falsehood does he venture in his lectures?

Boulder makes Boston look conservative.

Steve Coontz is the only conservative in Boulder.

Or could it be that Prof. Jerry's students believe there is "white physics"...and, then, there is "black physics"?

[Still Thinking]

Someone should walk in packing every single day and sit in the front row with a big smile and then look completely crestfallen and confused when the class is cancelled. Rinse, lather, repeat every day throughout the entire semester. Have someone else do this for all the teachers other classes as well. Let chaos ensue.

How very Alinsky of you -- I love it!

“He said that in a crisis, citizens with guns could add to the chaos and complicate the police response.”

And if there's one priority in our Republic, it must be that private citizens don't make life complicated for the police. [facepalm]
