Should a police officer be allowed in a college class if wearing a uniform?

[Anonymous]

I would say then the school should have a "no uniform" policy. No plumbers, no baseball uniforms, no military, soccer teams - just nothing.

I'm not comfortable seeing the Washington Team uniform, so best not wear in in my collage class.

See? Stupid right?

Why do you say that last part?

I should have said no student out of uniform (i.e., a random student with a permit rather than highly trained public safety or military professional like a PP's child) should be in class with a firearm.

Absolutely they should be allowed.

Why is this even a question?

Our neighbor used to go to Saturday evening Mass packing before his shift started. He was always wearing a jacket fully zipped up.

My DH (FBI) is always armed at church. Our pastor really likes knowing he is there.

I disagree! My son could very well stop a school shooting. He is a battle trained Army Airborne Ranger and Expert Marksman. He is calm and cool. Nothing rattles him. He has a conceal carry with special permission from his school to carry on campus. You want him to have a gun on campus.

Actually, I don't. Thanks though.

Perhaps an s/o is appropriate here, but:

- if clothing is such a distraction at universities, should student have to abide by a dress code, or perhaps be required to wear a school uniform to attend class?

Of course he should be allowed. This is the dumbest thing thing that I have read today.

Then you aren't very bright.

No, because I have a thing for men in uniform and there would be no learning taking place.

Not wanting anyone with a gun (no matter how well trained they may be) in a classroom has nothing to do with my intelligence. That you are insulting other people because they see something differently than you does speak to yours though.

+1. My husband sometimes wore his military uniform if he did not have time or class was during duty hours. I see no issue with it. I would prefer it given the craziness going on.

It would be incredibly dangerous for a policeman or woman in uniform to be out without a gun. These days they are targets.

No, decidedly I do not. Guns don't belong in schools.

My understanding is that policemen need to carry their firearms with them because leaving them unsecured (for example, in a car) is considered to be more dangerous than carrying them. The issue is not self-defense (or public defense), but rather responsible use and care of a firearm.
