Guns on campus


TopLeft

Recommended Posts

The state Supreme Court ruled Monday that the University of Colorado cannot ban concealed-weapon permit holders from bringing their guns to campus.

And while gun-rights activists are celebrating the ruling, CU says it discounts the regents' authority to govern safety on its campuses.

Colorado's highest court sided with Students for Concealed Carry on Campus, a gun-rights group that filed a lawsuit against CU in 2008, arguing that a university policy banning concealed weapons from its campuses violates state gun laws.

Colorado has a different situation. In Ohio we have to change the law first and then sue the universities.

The law change is working its way through the system now, probably a fall vote if I had to bet. You probably won't have to sue any universities at that point. ORC 9.68 is a pretty big stick to beat them with. I would suspect a couple of universities will sue the State over the change, a year or so later the Supreme Court will rule against the Universities and that will be the end of it.

Lets hope this comes to pass!
