A Texas professor is making waves on social media after protesting the state's campus carry law by wearing protective combat gear to class.

San Antonio College geography instructor Charles K. Smith went to his class last week sporting a camouflaged bulletproof vest and helmet. He said he wore it because he doesn’t feel safe.

“It definitely makes me feel uneasy that there are more firearms on campus than there should be,” Smith told mySA.com. “[Dressing this way] was just a statement on how I felt.”

Welp, walking around unarmed in a gun-free zone makes many of US feel uneasy and wearing a gun helps that and ALSO is a statement of how we feel.

The nice thing about this new Texas law? Now BOTH of us can make ourselves feel a little better, rather than just you.

Looks as if Charles K. Smith has a solution in search of a problem.

Well, I know of a problem in search of a solution, Charles K. Smith’s continued employment as an instructor. And unlike instructor Charles K. Smith, there is real solution, termination of his employment.

Re: professor wears combat gear

In a real kill you/kill me situation, I think I'd put a couple into each arm and then go for the lower face. If nothing else, he'll bleed a lot.

I will say his right per the 1st. Amendment are no better than ours in the 2nd. but I highly doubt this would resonate with this freak. Libtard attention whores are just that.

Showboating. Virtue signaling. Courting the approval of his students. A typical "educator" who couldn't DO anything productive, so he decided to be a teacher.

Hey, who cares, let him dress any way he likes. He's not gonna change anything, the pro-RKBA social change has occurred. Remember, these academics don't want their students to be armed, people like US made them do it.

So, if the students with carry licenses also want to display their opinions right back, they can legally open carry in this bozo's class.

Unless hos Classroom has a Metal Detector and an Armed Security Guard, his getup won’t do him much good.

Besides, Murder is already against the Law, so what is he afraid of?

Nearly all students claim he’s boring and his tests come straight off of quizzes which come straight from the book or just memorize the study guide. Also, he said they can’t use the Bible as reference and is a treehugger.
