Simpson Still Pushes Guns On Campus

Last week IdahoReporter.com reported on the Oregon Court of Appeals overturning a ban not allowing concealed weapons on college campuses, citing the Oregon Constitution. The courts determined that only the state Legislature could regulate firearms, and that institutions could not make an administrative rule that overrides the state constitution. Rep. Erik Simpson, R-Idaho Falls, introduced House Bill 222 during the 2011 session. The measure would have restricted colleges and universities from prohibiting firearms on campus. It passed the House, but failed in the Senate. During testimony, much was made of the fact that Utah and Colorado allow concealed weapons on campus, with no reported incidents. Public colleges and universities in those states must allow concealed weapons carriers/ Mitch Coffman , Idaho Reporter. More here.

Question: What do you make of the fact that Utah & Colorado allow guns on campus and have had to reported incidents of problems?
