State High Court Overturns Concealed Carry Ban at Colorado Univ.

The Colorado Supreme Court has overturned a University of Colorado policy banning concealed-carry permit holders from bringing guns onto campus.

The Colorado Supreme Court ruled on March 5 that the University of Colorado can't ban concealed-carry permit holders from bringing guns onto campus.

Students for Concealed Carry on Campus, a gun-rights group, filed a lawsuit against the university in 2008, claiming its concealed weapon policy violated state gun laws, reports the Daily Camera. James Manley, the attorney representing the group, argued that state law prohibits local governments from limiting state concealed-weapon rights.

Attorneys with the university argued that the law applies to cities and counties, not its campuses. University officials said they would allow concealed weapons on campus in two weeks.
