Here in Denver, there has been quite the back and forth at the CU Denver Campus in Downtown Denver which also houses the campuses for the Community College of Denver and Metropolitan State University. As a public campus, the law in CO reads that concealed carry is to be allowed, however, up until 2009, CU Denver had banned it on the campus. A few students filed suit and the ruling was overturned and determined that as a public institution, concealed carry is to be allowed on the campus. There is now a professor at CU Denver who has started a petition to once again ban concealed carry for lawful permit holders within the campus areas. Below is a link to the article. I just wanted to see what you all thought of this as I think when he states that it would make the campus safer, he isn't thinking it through quite enough. It seems as though the general consensus is that by disallowing CC in places that it makes it safer. While it could be true to an extent, I feel as though it makes the general population more at risk as there would be less of a chance at protection should something happen. After all, the people who this would try to limit by not allowing CC, wouldn't exactly be following laws anyway. I don't carry my gun on campus, however I do always have my EDC knife on me.
