If you introduce even the possibility of a firearm in there, the people, including the instructor, will automatically censor themselves. The academic freedom to express ideas, have heated discussions, these things will be hampered by the possibility of the presence of weaponry. Granted, that possibility exists even if it is illegal, but by allowing it there is a much higher probability.
If these people really think like this then they must oppose all types of gun possession in public. If they hoestly think there will be a problem with people shooting each other in a classroom where physical violence is pretty much non-existent then there is no way they can be in favor of letting people carry guns in cars when road rage is so common.
