And he is teaching kids. For 30K per year.

UTEP professor hangs 'Free Fire Zone' sign outside classroom (A Special Kind of Stupid)

[polymuser]

Someone needs to hang a “NO ABORTIONS” sign tight next to it.

[envisio]

Should read: “Shooter, come in here, we will offer no resistance”

I'm not familiar with the law in Texas, but if it is legal to carry on campus, he doesn't have the authority to ban firearms from a particular room (that he only teaches at at a particular time).

So go pound sand, Professor Pansy.

[proust]

he makes much more.

A University of Texas at El Paso professor has hung a "no-guns" sign outside of his classroom,

Because a crazed gunman will be thwarted by a piece of paper.

And the female student that walks home from the professor's evening class alone will be protected by that same piece of paper.

[Robwin]

I wonder how he intends to enforce this. Install a metal detector at the doorway? Pat down his students? Inspect student's personal property, purses, briefcases, etc., as they enter? Have students leave all personal property outside the classroom and attend class naked?

Inquiring minds want to know.

[I want the USA back]

Tell that to violent criminals who respect no laws and no signs.

[Boogieman]

A man with a hyphenated last name?

That says just about all I need to know about this mangina.

The students in his class should execute a blanket "drop" and leave him unemployed.

there is, I believe, a general principles of law that states that, if there is a disadvantage due to ambiguity in a written document, the disadvantage falls to the one who wrote it. I find the document, “No Guns” ambiguous. In my view, I see it as an announcement that the classroom has no guns and needs some. I can only help by bringing mine.

[West Texas Chuck]

I guess he doesn’t realize that sign (red circle with slash over silhouette of a pistol) carries absolutely no legal weight in Texas.

The only thing that carries any weight at all in this state is the 30-06 sign. Or the new 30-07 sign, I guess.

I’ll have to take your word about the $30k; I tried to look it up on line but did not find it.

I’ll have to take your word about the $30k; I tried to look it up on line but did not find it. I thought it would be higher.
