To bring this directly on topic, how could/would/should this decision affect OC on campus?

It'll ease me a bit. I spend so much time in my errands around Boulder having to think through if I'll be traveling near or through campus.

Also not being a legal beagle, is it effective immediately?

From the article: The State Supreme Court decision remands the case back to a lower court and it may take several weeks before CU is forced to drop its ban.

Meanwhile, back at the University

Howdy Folks!
My wife is having surgery right now at the University of Colorado Hospital.
Here is a sign I spotted today, June 27, 2012.
Did the U of C get the memo on the CSC decision, or are they somehow exempt?

It should go back to the original judge who sided with the Board ... I'm sure he will not apologize for violating the law ... its sad the court did not rule on the constitutional issue ~ like many courts do, they ran away from ruling on that ...

I believe CU can still ban weapons from buildings *if* they follow the law, i.e., placing permanent metal detectors at all entrances. See C.R.S. 18-12-214 (4) a through c.

Howdy Lucky!
Nope. No metal detectors. Just a sign in the parking lot, and another on the front door.
No metal detectors, no being checked with metal detector wands, nothing that might be appropriate.
Just the signs. Which, unless I am real badly mistaken, should have been removed by the CSC decision months ago.

So, I ended up asking the question again.

How, in view of a CSC decision, can they continue to uphold a policy that the highest court in the state has declared unconstitutional?

Funny.....check your guns at the door. Is it legal to enter the cop station with a gun so that you can check your guns?

BTW, apparently on-campus does not mean on-campus.

You could:

A) Send a dated copy of the picture to the DA, asking for clarification on the law.

or

B) Walk in armed and when they arrest you or ask you to leave, sue them.
