Student brings gun onto campus | The Shield It just got real!

I attended Indiana University Northwest and they have this same sort of policy. IUN does have an active police presence though, they are always rolling through their parking lots, etc. For the most part I go with advice my older brother taught me as a kid- don't get caught.

A woman capable of defending herself? Send her away!!!

 

[redryder]

Hopefully she lawyers up and raises a little stink over this.

The first comment was sad...

The news keeps telling us that colleges are rape factories. The book stores should sell handguns for all these victims to protect themselves.

Yeah, no kidding. More evidence that colleges and universities simply indoctrinate and don't teach people to think for themselves.

Since when do the police enforce a campus policy? Someone could have just said something - problem solved.

"No arrest was made" - for WHAT?! She wasn't doing anything illegal.

News Flash!!!

JJ left his home at approximately 5:30am on the morning of the 19th of February and proceeded to work arriving at approximately 6:00am. No arrest was made.

But that teaches self-reliance, that person won't have to depend on the State as much

Lawyers up for what? She was escorted off of campus, not arrested. University policy was followed. Until the law changes what recourse could she possibly have?

It's someone's policy that they're allowed to escort me anywhere?

My rights trump policy. They didn't raise a stink about it. Let them leave on their own (to avoid trespassing), don't touch or guide them anywhere.

If university policy is no firearms allowed, then yeah they can make you leave or have you trespassed. And that will remain the way it is until we get a law here disallowing such policy. Maybe we are imagining "escorting" as two different things here. The way I imagine it happening is they followed the woman back to her car to make sure she left. Maybe you are picturing it as they forcibly made her leave? A simple way to avoid such occurrences would be to conceal the firearm, but lets not go there today

U - U - USI!

Goooooooo EAGLES!

Sorry. Suddenly I was back in the late 90's.

 

[SteveM4A1]

I may or may not know individual(s) who have carried or do carry on USI campus daily. The horror!

This is a public university, it should have no say in firearm policy. A private one is a different story.

It's an awesome organization that has already won several court victories to restore the right to campus carry.

I've been on campus many time. There are several blue call boxes for campus security. All you have to do is plan on being assaulted at one of the boxes and security should be along within 15-20 minutes. You don't need a gun.

When you're escorted out of a council meeting for speech out of turn can you sue?

+1...... but I don't think that would ever come to pass in our lifetimes.
