After what happened at Brown University earlier this year, why would anyone oppose this?
Campus Reform reports:
New state legislation would allow students and professors to carry firearms on public campusesA Louisiana lawmaker has proposed legislation allowing students and faculty to carry firearms on public college campuses and private universities that receive state funding.State Rep. Danny McCormick pre-filed House Bill 99, which would allow individuals who are legally permitted to possess firearms to carry them on campus property, including buildings and facilities.The bill says the policy would align campus firearm rules with Louisiana’s permitless carry law and affirm Second Amendment rights.Firearms would still be prohibited at disciplinary hearings, medical or mental health facilities, and events with security screening or controlled access.The proposal would also prevent universities from imposing firearm policies more restrictive than state law or requiring firearm registration with the institution.Students at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge expressed mixed reactions, with some saying the policy could improve personal safety while others raised concerns about campus security.Louisiana House Speaker Phillip DeVillier says he will take feedback from education leaders into consideration as the legislation advances.”I’m going to lean on what the system presidents are telling me, what they would like and how it could affect them,” DeVillier said to the Baton Rouge Press Club, WAFB reported. “There’s a lot of conversation I would expect and some spirited debate that I would expect to take place over that.”
