On-campus gun shows and university gun policy

October 17, 2016

University Relations

As far as I know, the resolution regarding guns on campus didn't pass in the state legislature this spring, and thus guns are not generally allowed on campus. Why, then, does the university continue to rent out the Patty Center for private gun shows?  Yesterday afternoon (10/15), I was driving across campus, and a man walked out in front of my car (not at a crosswalk) with a shotgun slung over his shoulder. This is disconcerting at best, but it also seems as though having gun shows on campus should be against the board of regents regulations regarding firearms on campus.
