Dr. John Lott--Is Campus Carry A Danger? #3576

Gun control advocates frequently advise against people using guns for self-defense. But Michael Bloomberg, Rosie O’Donnell, and various anti-gun politicians are all protected by guns.

In May, associate history professor Jacob Dorman resigned from the University of Kansas. He accepted another tenured position at a different public university in a non-campus-carry state. In his resignation letter, Dorman predicted that Kansas will be “driving off faculty members” when it enacts campus carry on July 1. The professors expressed concern that a permit holder might get angry over a grade and start shooting. Has this ever happened? Would recruitment and attendance suffer?

Twelve states mandate the right to permitted concealed carry on public college campuses, and an additional 22 states leave it up to the university. Were there any reports of disturbances?
