"Should colleges be able to ban concealed weapons when state law allows it?"
The question is rather broad. Are we talking about private colleges, state colleges?
Not only that, but the question is very poorly worded. It be taken to mean one of two things:
1. Should colleges be able to ban concealed weapons when state law allows concealed weapons?
2. Should colleges be able to ban concealed weapons when state law allows colleges to ban concealed weapons?
Depends on what "it" means.
If it is a private college, some would argue the college has a Right to ban firearms.
That's the way the law reads here in Colorado, and I agree with it.
If it is a state college, some would argue that the college can, and should abide by, and utilize all state laws at their disposal.
Since Virginia Tech, my alma mater, is a state-supported school, I believe students should have the same 2A rights they do when they walk into Virginia's General Assembly while armed.
Students ought to be permitted to carry on-campus. If the state permits it but the college says no, I would still carry but that's just me--I would just CC on-campus.
I wish schools treated it as do businesses by posting "No Public Display of Firearms," thereby allowing CC with a permit.
Nah. What I really wish is that Constitutional Carry were the law of the land.
Oh, wait! It is! Or at least it's supposed to be...
