(<em>Photo: CJOnline<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A University of Kansas professor resigned earlier this month ostensibly due to fear of the state\u2019s new campus carry law, which is set to take effect at public universities on July 1.<\/p>\n<p>Citing concerns about armed students discussing \u201csensitive and highly charged topics,\u201d Associate Professor Jake Dorman published an <a href=\"https:\/\/cjonline.com\/opinion\/columns\/2017-05-05\/jacob-dorman-why-i-m-resigning-ku\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"kansas-professor-pens-resignation-letter-campus-carry-law\" title=\"Kansas Professor Pens Resignation Letter Over Campus Carry Law\">op-ed<\/a> in which he states that \u201cKansas can have great universities, or it can have concealed carry in classrooms, but it cannot have both.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kansas passed a law in 2013 that allowed anyone to carry a firearm in public buildings, but the law included a four-year exemption for universities. That exemption will expire on July 1, and Prof. Dorman doesn\u2019t want to be around to see what happens.<\/p>\n<p>In his column, Dorman chides his fellow Kansans for allowing campus carry, noting that in order for the state to run a \u201cpremier university\u201d it must recruit professors from \u201ccoastal areas and progressive college towns where most people do not believe that randomly arming untrained students is a proper exercise of the Second Amendment\u2019s protection of a well-regulated militia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He believes that allowing students to carry firearms into the classroom will have a \u201cchilling effect on free speech\u201d as heated arguments could \u201ceasily\u201d become \u201clethal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Strangely, Dorman doesn\u2019t mention the evidence and examples of violence and bloodshed in other states that have allowed students to carry concealed weapons on campus. That\u2019s likely because remarkably few students have shot their classmates or professors in the \u201cheated arguments\u201d Dorman fears. Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Tennessee, and Texas have all passed campus carry bills, and thus far the shrill warnings of the anti-gun lobby haven\u2019t come to fruition.<\/p>\n<p>Dorman argues that \u201cconcealed carry has proven to be a failure,\u201d noting that \u201ccampus shootings have become all too frequent, and arming students has done nothing to quell active shooter situations.\u201d He avoids naming specific instances because, again, there aren\u2019t any.<\/p>\n<p>Campus shootings still occur, of course, but no statistics exist for active shooter scenarios that never happen. We don\u2019t know how many students have reconsidered murderous actions for fear of facing down an armed student who refuses to be a victim. Furthermore, campus shootings don\u2019t occur regularly enough (thank goodness) to allow many opportunities for armed, law-abiding students to stop them.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Dorman may be leaving the university for which he feels so much \u201caffection\u201d for an entirely unrelated reason. He didn\u2019t known until this month that the campus carry bill would survive efforts to overturn it, and three weeks usually isn\u2019t enough time to secure a position at another university. He may be doing nothing more than attempting to secure some good-old-fashioned PR and score brownie points with the anti-gun administration at his new university.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the reason, next semester Prof. Dorman will be happily teaching rooms full of students who, if an active shooter situation does occur, will have absolutely no ability to defend themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A University of Kansas professor resigned earlier this month ostensibly due to fear of the state\u2019s new campus carry law, which is set to take effect at public universities on July 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":74098,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,25,216],"tags":[132,607,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-74097","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-current-events","9":"category-s-h-blannelberry","10":"tag-buzz","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Kansas Professor Pens Resignation Letter Over Campus Carry Law<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A University of Kansas professor resigned earlier this month ostensibly due to fear of the state\u2019s new campus carry law.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/kansas-professor-pens-resignation-letter-campus-carry-law\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Kansas Professor Pens Resignation Letter Over Campus Carry Law\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A University of Kansas professor resigned earlier this month ostensibly due to fear of the state\u2019s new campus carry law, which is set to take effect at public universities on July 1.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/kansas-professor-pens-resignation-letter-campus-carry-law\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-05-23T13:42:55+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-20T23:45:11+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/2344731_web1_kuprof1.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"620\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"360\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jordan Michaels\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jordan Michaels\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/gunsamerica.com\\\/digest\\\/kansas-professor-pens-resignation-letter-campus-carry-law\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/gunsamerica.com\\\/digest\\\/kansas-professor-pens-resignation-letter-campus-carry-law\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Jordan Michaels\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/gunsamerica.com\\\/digest\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/a21614cb8c2dd3512bbbaa26c54521ad\"},\"headline\":\"Kansas Professor Pens Resignation Letter Over Campus Carry Law\",\"datePublished\":\"2017-05-23T13:42:55+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-08-20T23:45:11+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/gunsamerica.com\\\/digest\\\/kansas-professor-pens-resignation-letter-campus-carry-law\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":510,\"commentCount\":36,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/gunsamerica.com\\\/digest\\\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/gunsamerica.com\\\/digest\\\/kansas-professor-pens-resignation-letter-campus-carry-law\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/gunsamerica.com\\\/digest\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/05\\\/2344731_web1_kuprof1.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"Buzz\",\"News\",\"R2KBA\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Authors\",\"Current Events\",\"S.H.
