Filmmaker\u00a0Kevin Willmott is taking a stand against campus carry. \u00a0Willmott, who also teaches media and film at the University of Kansas, showed up to class last week wearing a bulletproof vest. \u00a0His point, he doesn’t feel safe in the classroom anymore.<\/p>\n

\u201cTry to forget that I\u2019m wearing a vest, and I\u2019ll try to forget that you could be packing a .44 magnum,\u201d Willmott told UDK.com<\/a>, the student paper of KU.<\/p>\n

Willmott likened the new law that allows law-abiding citizens to carry on campus grounds provided they’re over the age of 21 to a “nice\/nasty” form of segregation from the ’50s where instead of erecting big signs enforcing the separation of whites and blacks businesses would put up small notices to conceal<\/em> the policy from plain sight.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe disturbing part of the policy for me is that it is concealed,\u201d Professor Willmott explained. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of a don\u2019t ask, don\u2019t tell kind of a policy, and so, you\u2019re just kind of expected to forget that they\u2019re probably there. And in that sense, you\u2019re kind of living in a lie.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that\u2019s what this policy is all about,\u201d Willmott continued. \u201cThey don\u2019t want it to be visible, because if it was visible, if everybody was walking around with a bulletproof vest on, people would say, \u2018Oh my God, is this a warzone? What\u2019s going on here?\u2019 And yes, it is a warzone. No one\u2019s started shooting yet. Yet. But we don\u2019t know how many people have guns.\u201d<\/p>\n

Willmott went on to argue that guns on campus chill the free exchange of ideas in the classroom, that everyone — students, teachers, administrators — is scared and that the mental health of college students is already fragile and having guns around will have tragic results.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, I\u2019m a filmmaker, and it\u2019s like you\u2019re living in a satire,\u201d Willmott said. \u201cYou\u2019re living in this kind of crazy satire where you\u2019re teaching and people can have guns. I mean it\u2019s crazy, it\u2019s crazy. I don\u2019t know how else to say it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Willmott says he plans to wear the vest for at least a year.<\/p>\n

Fears over campus carry are overblown. \u00a0The notion that students and teachers and administrators are living in a warzone with blood in the streets is complete and utter nonsense.<\/p>\n

In an article published on The Hill <\/a>back in May, researcher and economist\u00a0John Lott Jr. flat-out debunked the notion that campus carry poses a threat to student safety.<\/p>\n

“Twelve states mandate the right to permitted concealed carry on public college campuses and an additional 22 states leave it up to the university,” wrote Lott. \u00a0“Not once has a permit holder in any of these states committed a crime on one of these campuses with a gun.”<\/p>\n

Lott also made a good point regarding Kansas’ Constitutional carry standard which doesn’t require one to obtain a permit to carry concealed.<\/p>\n

“It is a wonder how these professors ever go off campus. After all, there are over 1.15 million concealed handgun permit holders in Texas. Kansans don’t even need a permit to carry. Professors can’t go to restaurants, movie theaters, or grocery stores without being around legally carried concealed handguns,” he noted.<\/p>\n

Lott’s right. \u00a0If KU is a warzone, well then so is the entire state of Kansas. \u00a0If he is going to be intellectually consistent, Willmott should wear that vest everywhere he goes, not just to class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
