Colorado Supreme Court and Campus Carry
http://www.dailycamera.com/boulder-business/ci_16368692
The Colorado SC will take the case about whether the campuses can ban carry. The policy was on hold but this will be the final decision, I suppose. Some Colorado members might have more of the details and the debate. Glenn

Colorado schools must not need more money, if they've got money to appeal, appeal, appeal, appeal, and keep on appealing law suits they've lost.

I thought some Colorado colleges voted to allow carry but were them mysteriously overruled? What happened there? I checked students for concealed campus.com but nothing.
I really hope this goes towards carrying on campus, I'd really like to see this at my school and I think this kind of thing would give some legislatures and groups the momentum needed to pull it off. Also the ideological battle is a very enlightening one. When there is (for some, sadly) no blood running in the hallowed halls it will provide a great lesson to all.

Sorry for second post, but I think the topic difference merits it.
Here is quote from the article: Quote:
IMO this is a shaky argument at best especially now that self defense has been ruled a fundamental right. Remember that another fundamental right, freedom of speech, does not stop at the schoolhouse door. This may not be a fair comparison being that freedom of speech is applied with strict scrutiny and we have yet to see the scrutiny applied to the Second Amendment, but I think the point is clear. It is going to be very hard to convince a court that their autonomy granted to them by some unrelated statute is more important than the Second and Fourteenth Amendments.

This case is based on Colorado's pre-emption law. Using 2nd and 14th Amendment arguments may work, but that is hardly clear. Heller provided the "sensitive places" bit, which could easily be used against us. No one has really defined what makes a "sensitive place" yet.
The Board of Regents really does seem to want their authority both ways. They ARE a part of government, but claim that they are special enough that restrictions on Colorado's other governmental organizations does not apply to them. (If I understand correctly.) Fingers crossed for SCCC. |

Taken to its logical extreme, CU is arguing that the authority of the Board of Regents is, essentially, limitless, at least with respect to issues regarding the school itself. That is a rather stunning argument.
