Colorado professor starts petition to ban concealed carry after Aurora shooting

Campus Reform ^

A professor in the Aurora area has started a petition to repeal Colorado’s Concealed Carry Act, in light of the recent mass-shooting that took place last week.

Professor Chad Kautzer launched the online petition at Change.org in an effort to help “protect the health and safety of University of Colorado employees and students.”

Earlier this year, the Colorado Supreme Court overturned CUD’s ban on concealed weapons, ruling that Colorado’s Concealed Carry Act applied to college campuses. Now students who meet the state’s qualifications to carry a concealed weapon can do so on campus.

“University campuses are places of work and study,” reads the petition. “The intentional introduction of more firearms in this environment only increases the chance of deadly violence.”

Professor Kautzer, who is also the director of the school’s “social justice minor,” lists the “recent mass shooting by CU Denver student James Holmes” as a reason to prohibit concealed firearms.

OTOH cripplecreek, Professor Chad Kautzer might be a little fearfull, approaching paranoia, and right now, perhaps even wishing old time public shamings and/or “tar and feathering's” would come back into style...immediately.

What if just one person had a permit and a gun, and was trained in how to use it? Would have been different ending.
