The Colorado Court of Appeals has ruled that the University of Colorado has no authority to bar students or visitors from lawfully carrying guns on campus, The Denver Postreports.
The appeals court found Thursday that a district judge in El Paso County erred in dismissing a challenge to the ban filed by Students for Concealed Carry on Campus and three students from CU.
The university's Board of Regents had adopted a ban on all guns on campuses, believing the statewide Concealed Carry Act of 2003 did not apply to universities, the newspaper says.
But the court found that the Legislature specifically intended the act to apply everywhere except in a few places spelled out in the statute, such as K-12 schools.
Attorney Jim Manley, who represents the plaintiffs, called the ruling "a real victory for individual freedom" and the law, the Post says.
