One professor at the University of Kansas is not a big fan of the state’s new campus carry law and has not been shy about showing it.
While lawful gun owners can now carry concealed guns on campus, including students and staff 21 and older, film and media professor Kevin Wilmott has chosen to don a bulletproof as a form of protest, the Kansas City Star reported.
Known for directing such films as C.S.A: The Confederate States of America, Wilmott said the visibility of his vest is intentional, meant to remind people that firearms are now allowed on the campus, even if people can’t see them.
“Try to forget I’m wearing a bulletproof vest and I’ll try to forget that you could be packing a .44 Magnum,” the professor told students Tuesday morning during the first class of the semester.
Wilmott intends to wear the vest all year long to protest the law that took effect July 1 and now allows lawful gun owners to carry concealed guns into most public buildings in the state, including those at public universities. Kansas is now one of eight states that allow concealed firearms on college
