I personally know two very talented professors, neither of whom can risk making any of the personal views known, let alone publicly take a pro-gun stance. One has an LTC and has been talking to me about on-body carry but is limited since printing, even a little, is totally unacceptable.

I think the problem goes well beyond ideology. I attended a campus carry "forum" at UT Arlington when the 2013 Legislature was contemplating the bill. A statistics professor was the forum leader and it was clear that he was interested in subservience not an exchange of ideas or information. He was there to tell the students how to think and act. That would have been bad enough but the president spoke and echoed the same mind set. I personally took classes there out of necessity but would certainly make a different choice of institution if I were looking for a degree. I suspect that it is a very hostile environment for anyone not adhering to that thinking.

The good professor may be jumping from the frying pan to the fire. The U of P is in Philadelphia and the concealed carry rates there are higher than in Texas. 10% of the population of Lancaster county has licenses. Plus, I worked in the U of P computing center (Unicol) and the area surrounding it is pretty rough. Wouldn't it be ironic if he had to get a PA CC permit to stay alive. Austin is going to look like a cake walk by comparison.
