| Topic | Concealed Carry on Campus |
| Content | We need a state law voiding concealed-carry bans on university campuses. There are painfully too few campus police at any one given time for such a large area with so many buildings, and there are few places less secure than a college campus, with no surrounding fences or walls and many of the building left unlocked, even after hours.
The university campus should be treated like any other public area. Ask your local police chief how many violent crimes involving guns their have been in your city in the last ten years. Then, ask him how many of those involved a person with a concealed carry license.
The university of Utah allows concealed carry on their campus, and has never had an incident.
The fact is, the "bad guys" will always get guns, steal guns, or make guns, and will always bring guns to the place they intend to use them. "No Guns" signs don't keep criminals out, they only hinder law abiding citizens. Afterall, since when have criminals obeyed the laws? You will never keep guns out of the hands of killers, you can only even the odds by allowing good citizens to carry if they so choose.
If you insist on retaining the concealed-carry ban on campuses, then you should also build fences around campuses, and put metal detectors at every entrance. That's the only way to keep the "bad guys" from bringing guns in.
