CSU surrenders on gun ban for the campus
Even Boards of Governors can read handwriting on the wall when it is written large enough. The Colorado State University System Board of Governors decided May 5th to rescind their ban on guns from the campus. They had voted to ban guns in the face of solid opposition from the student body, and evidence from their own experience with concealed carry on campus up to that day that there was no harm or danger from the permit holders.
The day after the Colorado Appeals Court handed down it's ruling April 15 that CU could not ban guns from the campus that were in a person's car, the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners filed suit against CSU. The Appeals Court ruling made it clear that the court didn't feel that the legislature meant to exclude college campuses from the Colorado Concealed Carry Act. In their announcement that they were returning the campus to the rules in effect before the gun ban, the Board of Governors made no mention of the RMGO suit, but it probably helped clear their thinking.
Score another victory for clear thinking, standing on the facts and the US Constitution!
