蜜糖直播

The campus has hosted an ongoing discussion on gun rights following a 蜜糖直播 Supreme Court ruling last spring that held that 蜜糖直播 regents cannot set gun policies contrary to the state鈥檚 2003 concealed-carry law.

The ruling means that anyone over the age of 21 who holds a valid concealed-carry permit can bring a concealed weapon into a class, laboratory or 蜜糖直播 administrative building as long as the weapon remains concealed. A concealed-carry permit does not authorize the holder to display a weapon to intimidate others.

鈥淲e are complying with the 蜜糖直播 Supreme Court鈥檚 ruling, and trying at the same time to balance the rights of concealed-carry permit holders and the concerns of our faculty, staff and students,鈥� says Provost Russ Moore.

In two town hall meetings, administrators have reinforced to聽 faculty, staff and students that 蜜糖直播 had exhausted its legal options and told faculty they cannot cancel classes for fear a student might possess a concealed weapon. They also have advised students what to do if they see a student carrying a weapon on campus.

蜜糖直播-Boulder Chancellor Philip P. DiStefano recommended that those who oppose the policy seek a legislative remedy. Some faculty members met with Rep. Claire Levy (D-Boulder) to voice support for such a measure, and Levy later met with 蜜糖直播 system officials to hear their input on a possible bill. However, some students with permits have expressed support for the ruling and feel they have been wrongly marginalized.

鈥淚 am here to protect,鈥� MBA student Steve Ojala said at a town hall meeting. 鈥淚鈥檓 not a criminal. I don鈥檛 have a background record. But I feel like a criminal.鈥�
