University of Colorado physics professor cancels classes if he finds out that there is a permitted concealed handgun in the class
This professor strikes me as kind of crazy. Is he really afraid of going off of campus? I doubt it. Does he have any evidence that permit holders pose a danger to himself or others? No. From the Denver Post:
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.
"My own personal policy in my classes is if I am aware that there is a firearm in the class — registered or unregistered, concealed or unconcealed — the class session is immediately canceled," Peterson said. "I want my students to feel unconstrained in their discussions." . . .

Well, that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy if handled correctly. If a legally carried handgun is properly concealed, the professor is thereby unaware of it. QEF
I carry, and only my wife may be occasionally aware of it. I take the word concealed very seriously, which means that no one, even my close friends, should know. I like to think that most people who have concealed-carry permits are of a like mind.
The professor is only making an empty declaration for the sake of publicity and to establish his liberal bona fides.
What sort of physics classes is this guy teaching that he thinks they'll have controversial discussions that might result in gun play?
Don't ask, don't tell?
It seems like professor don't like Guns and not much aware of rules as well.
