In reply to the discussion: Nobel Prize-Winning Texas Professor: Guns Not Welcome In My Class [View all]beevul
(12,194 posts)41. A little problem with your theory.
Given this is a public university the 1st Amendment argument will carry as much if not more weight than the 2nd Amendment argument, just from the "greater good" aspect alone.
The first amendment argument is not even applicable since amendment 1, like amendment 2, restricts only government.
Students are not agents of the government.
Teachers at a public university receiving public funding are.
Guess who the restrictions on government apply to, and who they don't.
This will get laughed out of court.

How many of the students are over 21 and thus eligible to carry in the first place?
