i know one of my classes is VERY entertaining because our teacher is so opinionated. he will trash obama all day, but then talk about how you shouldnt be allowed to carry near the president. which of course the class (me included) gets into the politics of stuff. we know how to have fun with it though and not over step the boundaries.
but when your in a spot/class where everyone is against your views, sometimes it is better to just remain quiet because you know no matter what you say its not going to change anyones mind and your going to be "that guy"
another one of my classes, my teacher is from mexico (we all know guns are banned there) and truly believes guns shouldnt be allowed to the public because of violence. id love to tell him how stupid he is and obviously gun control has failed in mexico, but with a class full of hippies, im pretty sure i would get outcasted from the rest of the group

couldnt agree more with that statement. in most cases i would uphold that any day, but when it comes to being out $1000+ because i "failed" the class, its not worth it. may sound unpatriotic but i dont have the funds to back up my beliefs unfortunately

Me and my Criminal Justice teacher were getting into a debate of what age you have to be to be in possession of a handgun (I was talking to another calssmate because he was interested in getting one, but didn't know what age he had to be). I told him you can be 18, and he strongly believed that it was 21 no matter what. He is a retired Phoenix police Sgt. :banghead:

Purchase: 18 for a long gun, 21 for a handgun.
Open carry (any) gun at 18. CWP: 21
Never ask a cop for gun advice. :banghead:

yea... again i dont have that kind of money, plus i like the teacher AND i have to do this class (with the same teacher) for 2 more semesters. there is a time and place for everything. besides like i was saying, i have a teacher that strongly speaks against obama and how hes ruining this country... should i stand up and tell him to stop even though i agree with what hes saying?
cats and dogs man, theres always going to be a fight when it comes to school. i have no problem expressing views, but in this particular situation for me, it WOULD cause a big problem for me. but my other class yea we'll debate all day long and stay "friends"
dont think being a loud mouth a$$hole is always the appropriate response. even though they are wrong, and they are completely arrogant and dont know the law, usually getting into it with them wont change anything. ill still try to educate, but im not going to fight with them because than it makes me look bad and will hurt my grade.

You are actually using VERY good tactics. While it may be noble to go all out guns blazing (pun intended), it is not always wise. Tactically it is better to choose your battles. Only you can determine what is right or doable for you. Your teacher is an idiot, that's plain to see, and while it may frustrate those of us on this board who know better, arguing with her at this point in time would probably be more detrimental to you than it would be beneficial to our cause.

I too agree. There is definatly a time a place to be vocal and agressive about your rights, and there are other times where it is best to lead by example. The SCCC (Students for Concealed Carry on Campus) at ASU will frequently have empty holster protests, a silent visual example of how there are people who are respectable students who choose to carry a weapon for their protection. SCCC is rolling out a new website in a few weeks, http://www.armedornot.com- it has a test where you look at several photos of students and have to identify wether they are "armed or not".
At ASU you are not alone in your desire to be armed, all the while being frustrated with the left-minded faculty and indoctrinated student body. I too feel your frustration. Don't give up the fight!
Carry on!

I am in online school and I face these liberal challenges as well,especially being in a Ethnicity class. I take the fight to it when I can and remain as peaceable and respectable to my teacher and class while doing it.
