Guns Easier to Obtain, Time Mag. Complains
States from Montana to Texas have relaxed laws restricting the carrying and use of firearms in self-defense. The Lone Star state is even considering following Utah’s lead in making firearms legal on university and college campuses — the sort of thing that was politically unthinkable not long ago, thanks to the incurably irrational liberalism that tends to hold sway in the halls of higher learning.
Concealed weapons bill meets objections on campus
Utah is the only state that prevents individual schools from banning guns from campus. Other states either ban them outright at all state schools or leave the decision up to each institution.
The loaded campus
While most people agree that it's a good idea to keep firearms away from edifices of government and booze, 11 colleges nationwide allow concealed carry on campus, most notably every public college in Utah.
CCSU club protests for right to carry guns on campus
“Statistics show that when concealed carry increases, crime decreases. Obviously, if [a gunman gets] shot, they can’t shoot anyone else. There are schools in Utah and Colorado that allow concealed carry, and there haven’t been any shootings at those schools.”
Students under fire for wanting to “pack heat”
Utah is the only state that explicitly allows students who hold concealed weapons permits to carry guns at all public colleges and universities. But a number of other states, including Texas and Missouri, are considering similar action.
Guns on college campus
Currently, there are 11 colleges and universities that already allow it -- in Utah, West Virginia and Colorado.
Ten Years After Columbine, It's Easier to Bear Arms
This spring, for example, Texas lawmakers are mulling a new law that would allow college students to carry firearms to campus (Utah already makes this legal).
Bill would allow concealed weapons at state colleges
Currently, Utah is the only state that explicitly allows licensed gun-holders to carry their weapons on college campuses.
