Just to clarify, the bill allows firearms on college property, but not inside buildings or classrooms...

The Arizona House gave final approval to a measure that will allow guns on college campuses, although it doesn't go so far as to allow them inside buildings or classrooms.

Senate Bill 1467 passed 33-24, with several Republicans and all present Democrats voting against the measure. The final version of the bill requires state community colleges and universities to allow both concealed and openly carried weapons in their public rights of way, which would likely include public roads and adjacent sidewalks.

The original version would have allowed guns everywhere on college campuses, including in classrooms. Bill sponsor Sen. Ron Gould, R-Lake Havasu City, said he narrowed the scope to assure the bill's passage.

SB 1467 now goes to Gov. Jan Brewer, who has five days to sign it, veto it or do nothing and allow it to become law.

Brewer spokesman Matthew Benson declined to comment on whether Brewer will sign the measure. She has historically been supportive of measures expanding gun rights.....

there is mild to moderate WIN in this thread.
but much room for further WIN still exists.

Still allows for kill zones.
I wonder.... if a shooter decided to take out a classroom and a CCW holder pulled his weapon and got the BG.....would the CCW be prosecuted ???

mixed on this one. Yah, wish it was passed because it's "pro gun rights". But if she's telling them to go back and get it right, then it may suck, but it may be the right thing to do.

But the crime rate will drop. Security will have to lay off a couple of wannabes.
