Colleges Find Ways to Foil Pro-Gun Rulings

DENVER Courts are ruling in favor of allowing those with concealed-carry permits to bring their handguns on campus, but universities are figuring out ways to keep the guns out.

Gun rights advocates recently notched major legal victories in Colorado and Oregon, with courts in both states agreeing that university policies banning firearms on campus must defer to state laws allowing permit holders to carry concealed handguns.

In response, however, university officials in Oregon and Virginia have enacted policies allowing concealed carry on campus but not in buildings, including classrooms, dormitories, event centers and dining halls.

Wouldn't it make all the sense in the world to let them carry in the classrooms? That way if a whack job goes wild with a gun in the halls the event will be short lived and lives will be saved.
