and I accurately characterized your real complaint - fear of discipline for not complying with state law and campus policies concerning firearms.

You most certainly are not required to teach anything in an armed classroom or under any circumstances. Similarly, you don't have a right to teach anywhere you please and set your own rules that conflict with state law or campus policies.

If you believe there should be a "professor exemption" to state law, feel free to contact your legislators. However, failure to comply with applicable laws and rules will almost certainly result in discipline, up to and including termination.

If you your current employer, consistent with state law, allows firearms in classrooms, and you cannot abide by such laws and policies, you might need to find new employment elsewhere compatible with your beliefs.
