Colorado State University to redo weapons policy

From the Rocky Mountain State:
The Faculty Council at Colorado State University recently announced it would reword the student conduct policy to clarify that students with a valid permit are allowed to carry concealed weapons on campus.

The current policy states that CSU prohibits the, "use or possession on University property of firearms or simulated weapons; other weapons such as blades larger than pocket knives; ammunition or explosives; dangerous chemicals, substances or materials; or bombs or incendiary devices prohibited by law. Use of any such item, even legally, in a manner that harms, threatens, or causes fear to others [is prohibited]."

CSU is one of 11 universities in the U.S. that allows students with permits to carry concealed weapons on campus, along with Blue Ridge Community College and public schools in Utah.

At the University of Denver, the student code of conduct states that, "any possession and/or use of weapons...used to inflict injury or damage while on University premises, even if the student possesses a valid concealed weapons permit or other lawful permission to carry a weapon [is prohibited]."

DU is not currently looking at reexamining the existing policy.
