In the last few months, discussion of the wisdom or folly of allowing guns on college campuses has erupted. Several state legislatures have discussed bills to allow students, employees, and even visitors who have concealed carry permit licenses to be armed on campus. Some public universities have already lost legal battles with their state legislatures on this matter; faculty, staff, and students are now free to carry on campus at the University of Colorado. The University of Utah lost a similar suit, but students are prohibited by the student conduct code from possessing a firearm on campus. (Employees and visitors do not appear to be similarly restricted.) Acad. Quest. (2014) 27:411–425 DOI 10.1007/s12129-014-9451-2
