Acting Rep. Gayle Batt, R-Wilder, asked BSU security chief John Uda if there are signs warning that weapons can't be carried on the campus, and said, "I carried my concealed weapon with me at the last two legislative events that occurred on the BSU campus and didn't know - hypothetically." Uda responded that it's just general knowledge that you can't carry a gun on a college campus or at a school; there are no signs.
