Daniel Hamermesh, an economics professor emeritus who has taught at the university since 1993, said in a letter to the college’s president that “with a huge group of students my perception is that the risk that a disgruntled student might bring a gun into the classroom and start shooting at me has been substantially enhanced by the concealed-carry law”.
The letter, published by the Daily Texan, said that rather than teach in Austin in fall 2016 and 2017, Hamermesh will “out of self-protection” instead spend part of next year at the University of Sydney, “where, among other things, this risk seems lower”.
The Republican-dominated Texas legislature passed the bill last summer. It goes into effect on 1 August next year. That date will mark the 50th anniversary of the first US mass college shooting – which took place on the University of Texas campus.
SO just maybe this professor does feel such threats just going to work when cancealed guns could end his life and others..because it's lawful for anyone to settle their beefs in such a manner the OP's example outlines.

Because people get shot everywhere else where concealed carry is legal. The professor should help himself and take criminology and statistics classes where he would learn that someone with s carry permit is much less likely to commit a crime than an average citizen.
It is nothing more than hoplophobia.
