COLORADO STATE
UNIVERSITY BANS FIREARMS
Colorado State University's Board of
Governors voted unanimoosly on Fri-
day to ban concealed weapons on cam-
pus, The Associated Press reported.
Most major colleges across the nation
already don't allow guns on campus,
butcontil now Colorado State University
had been deferring to state laws that
allow people to carry guns on campus
as long as they had a permit.
With this gon ban, Utah will become
the only state where concealed weap-
ons are allowed on college campuses.
