A professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder announced earlier this week that students who own guns under the state’s concealed-carry laws were prohibited from bringing them to his class.

But he was quickly rebuked by CU-Boulder Chancellor Philip DiStefano, who said such a request would violate state law.

In an e-mail to faculty, DiStefano wrote: “I have the utmost respect for Professor Peterson, who is an old friend and valued colleague, but I want to make clear that if the student carrying the weapon has a concealed-carry permit, the position implied by Professor Peterson’s comments directly violates Colorado law and the operating principles of the campus.”

it's best that people protect themselves ,you just don't know when some nut might start shooting and if just one person has a pistol on him or her they could stop the person or persons from doing much damage.

I hate concealed carry! I woudl rather have it out where it is easier to get to and it gives some idiot time to weigh his thoughts on dying. Can you imagine some smart mouthed kid acting up in class if the prof. has a big 'ol .44 strapped on?
