Plaintiff's "ridiculous argument"
A trial court in Texas rejected a challenge to Texas’s campus carry law.
Plaintiffs allege that “classroom discussion will be narrowed, truncated, cut back, cut off” by the allowance of guns in the classroom. One professors [sic] avers in an affidavit that the “possibility of the presence of concealed weapons in a classroom impedes my and other professors’ ability to create a daring, intellectually active, mutually supportive, and engaged community of thinkers.”
Constitutional attorney David French wasn't buying it. "This, of course, is cowardly, ignorant nonsense. I’ve spent more than my share of time in college classes that covered contentious topics, and not once did they generate so much as fisticuffs, much less deadly violence," he wrote. "Moreover, lawful concealed carriers represent a segment of the population more law-abiding than the police."
