[Vision2020] more guns on campus

[Robert Dickow]

It was forbidden to carry guns in many if not most frontier towns at various
times during the late 1800s. This was true in Tombstone, AZ at the time of
the famous "gunfight at the OK corral" (*). So, now we can't have restricted
zones for classes on campuses? .. the hallowed halls of learning??  Now,
just where'd I put that trusty ol' Colt 45? Hell, now I'll sure-as-shootin'
need to be heeled when doin' my lecturin'  16th Century Modal Counterpoint
this coming fall semester. . just so as to keep a safe learnin' environment
y'understand. (It can get very intense at times!)

 

(*) The gunfight was actually in a small vacant lot near the 'OK Corral.'
The Earp brothers and Doc Holiday went there (ostensibly) to disarm some
locals who were not in compliance with the no-carry law. (See 'And Die in
the West,' Paula Mitchell Marks, Simon and Schuster 1989.)

Did they add some new amendments to the Constitution I'm unaware of?

I was speaking with some of my professor friends yesterday. I asked, "If you
are allowed to make classroom rules such as no cell phones, no computer
games, no eating, how is it that you won't be able to say "no guns in my
classroom?" I suggested going to the union and having a statewide walkout.
Instead, two of these friends, who are extremely capable and long term
professors said they are applying for posts in other states. For them, this
is the straw (disrespect) that is breaking the camel's back.
