One of only a handful of colleges left that can lawfully carry a concealed weapon on campus, CSU's board of govenors in Ft.Collins, Colorado has decided in the name of safety, they are going to
ban the carry of all weapons except the police, active military, and ROTC. Colorado is a legal concealed carry state.
Here is the link to universities policy draft they will be voiting on in February.
The Rocky Mountain Gun Owners will be ther to fight the battle if the vote comes down on the wrong side.
Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, a Second Amendment lobbyist group, is working with a local law firm to fight what RMGO Director Dudley Brown calls “a no brainer.”
“I’m still hoping (the university) will come to their senses,” legal counsel for RMGO Terry Ryan said, adding that the “aggressive” lobbyist group has a no-compromise policy when it comes to Second Amendment rights.
If, at its Feb. 23 meeting, the BOG approves the policy prohibiting concealed carry, Ryan said, he will be ready to file a complaint within days of the decision calling for the ban to be repealed.
The next step, he said, would be to apply for an injunction, which would halt all enforcement of the policy until the court ruled on the case.
The Larimer County Sheriff made it clear his position on the matter:
But, throughout the heated debate over the legality of banning concealed carry at CSU, Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden has taken a firm stance that he will take no part in arresting or detaining valid permit holders violating any such ban.
Hopefully this will all come down on the side of legal carry, but I will not be holding my breath.
