On a related note, (but one that I feel doesn't deserve it's own thread,) the group students against cc, are staging a protest tomorrow at UT Austin. At which, they will be displaying a certain type of lewd object that I'm sure can't be mentioned on this forum. In their minds, openly carrying these objects will somehow demonstrate the "absurdity" [their word] of allowing concealed guns carried to class by LTC holders.

You make a good point. I never worried about being attacked in class when I was in college. I did while walking out to the far parking lot where my car was though.

I seem to remember hearing about a serial rapist when I was in school. Do you think he was raping women while they were in class?

Exactly! I think a lot of people are thinking of Virginia Tech and similar events, when campus carry is brought up. No doubt that is a valid thing to consider, but, that's not the primary reason for LTC.

"We just do not want guns in our classrooms; we have a well-trained police force in the city of Austin and on campus. I trust our first responders to protect us.”

What if we rewrite that statement like this? "We just don't want fire extinguishers in our classrooms; we have a well-trained fire department in the city of Austin and on campus. I trust our first responders to protect us.”

We just do not want guns in our classrooms; we have a well-trained police force in the city of Austin and on campus. I trust our first responders to protect us.”

What they fail to understand is that a the LTC holder is not there to be a police officer for the class as a whole. In actuality, the LTC holder carries for their own individual protection, which largely involves travel to and from said classroom. So what the professors are really suggesting is taking away an individual's right to self protection when they aren't even in class.
