A proposed gun ban on university campuses throughout the state was unveiled Tuesday, with several gun-rights groups saying the measure has no teeth and gives people "a false sense of security" on campus.
SB251, sponsored by Sen. Greg Bell, R-Fruit Heights, would allow students to choose to room only with students who do not have concealed weapons permits and let faculty designate their offices as gun-free zones.
An individual faculty member would have to write a letter requesting no concealed weapons be allowed in his or her office, as well as post a sign declaring the office gun-free. The school would also be required to provide some type of secure gun storage outside of faculty offices so concealed carry permit holders could store weapons before entering a gun-free office.
At first glance, I'd say the gun activists fighting this lack a sense of humor, because this has gotta be an
in-your-face to the enuretics. The only thing I'd add to the bill is a requirement for anti-gun students and faculty to wear sheep costumes with targets painted on them while on campus. That, and addressing anyone who has chosen
not to render themselves contemptible as "Master."
