The National Conference of State Legislators says lawmakers nationwide are responding to shootings on college campuses by allowing students and teachers to carry weapons:
Ten states currently have active legislation that would permit individuals to
have guns on campus. Specifically, they would need concealed carry weapons (CCW)
permits to carry a weapon on university, college or higher-education
campuses.
Looking at such legislation are Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Indiana,
Kentucky, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Washington. Mississippi,
South Dakota and Virginia proposed similar measures, but they were defeated in
all three states.
Arizona and Washington have legislation introduced that would
prohibit individuals with CCW permits from carrying a gun on university
campuses.
