I do not see the majority of academic departments making statements so I take that as a positive sign that anti-gun sentiment is not the mainstream opinion there. Only liberal arts departments have made position statements as far as I can see. I suspect that indifference or mild concern is more typical. The anti's probably do have everyone else cowed and afraid to voice different opinions. included is a reference to a historical document banning firearms from the University of Virginia the signing of which was supposedly witnessed by Jefferson. What is left out of that historic ban discussion  however is the problem of dueling that was prevalent at that time. Dueling is no longer a concern so gun rights can be restored on campuses without worry LOL.I am amused by the argument that discussion of controversial topics in the classroom would lead to gunfights. Really? If this were true then we would be seeing fist fights in college classrooms and I have never heard of or witnessed any. Has anyone seen a fight break out in a college classroom over a controversial topic?? Very few I would expect.</blockquote>
