Liberal Professor Wears Helmet And Bullet Proof Vest On First Day Of Texas’ Campus Carry Laws

Texas officially implemented campus carry laws in community colleges on Tuesday, and Charles K. Smith, a geography instructor at San Antonio College came to class ready to make a statement.

He told a local San Antonio news station:

“I was just saying I don’t feel safe,” Charles K. Smith told mySA.com.

 

“It definitely makes me feel uneasy that there are more firearms on campus than there really should be,” Smith said. “(Dressing this way) was just a statement on how I felt.”

 

Smith has been with the school for 10 years and said he’s encountered the occasional fist fight, argument and threat over grades. But never a gun.

 

“I realize students were carrying guns on campus illegally, but now it’s legal to do so. It increases the chances of something happening,” Smith said. “Used to, when they got mad at me, they had to go home to get the gun and had time to cool off, now they will have it with them.”

 

Smith said he’s also concerned for when an argument breaks out again and a person is armed.

“My assumption is that you will have more people carrying guns, that well lead to problems. It always has,” Smith said. “There is nothing on this planet worth a human life.”

One of Smith’s students, James “Hot Mustard” Velten posted the above picture on his Facebook.

I guess this guy felt way safer when the only guns he was surrounded by were being carried illegally? Makes TOOOOOTAL SENSE.
