After reading about natedog's teacher and other stories about anti-professors I find myself lucky that this semester I have professors who are not just progun, but love to talk about firearms in class. I have these classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays and listen very carefully to their lectures. 
The first one is a professor of Sociology. He is an Ermest Hemmingway looking man who served as a Marine in Vietnam and does steer wrestling as a hobby. One time he asked about what in society was deemed socially acceptable before and then became socially deviant. Being devils advocate I mentioned that firearms would fit in that catagory. He said that was ridiculous and mentioned his CCW and owning a cache of firearms and that he any other was not a social deviant.
The next is my Anthropology professor. He is a small man from the Andes (He sort of looks like Chong, but older). The first day of class he told us that he had wanted us to speak up, because as a child he shot without hearing protection. Every once and a while he'll tell a story or use an example that uses a firearms. He once said that no matter how much you save up the person with an AK or M16 will just take what he wants (I thought basically he's talking about SHTF!). Other stories include like how he had to take down a rabid dog with a .38 revolver and give himself rabie shots
, hunting guinnea pigs with a 22 rifle, or taking down a deer with 30'06. But the best of all was how he described global economy in that American products aren't always made in the US like how Springfield Armory uses parts from Brazil and if you look on the barrel of your Winchester it will say made in Japan (This lead to me having a dialogue with him about Taurus products. How even though we think foreign made products are cheap and inferior, but in reality they just can make it cheaper because they have different standards of living. Now that's anthropology that makes sense to me.)
I love my school.

I wasn't into firearms then. It was a lost cause to keep the rifle range because the school's 100+ year collection of firearms was sold off long ago.:banghead:
