Get ready for Conceal
and Carry
The Kansas state
legislature passed the Personal and Family protection act in 2006 which
essentially allows Kansas residents to conceal carry a fire arm. Now the parameters
of that law have been expanded to allow individuals with a conceal carry permit
to exercise their second amendment right in public institutions.
Fortunately, schools
were given until July 2017 to come up with valid measures that would prepare
the campus to accommodate individuals who conceal and carry. Measures have been taken place at almost every
post-secondary institution for the July 2017 dead line when conceal and carry
will officially hit college campuses.
The Student
Governments on all campuses have been working to bring this to the attention to
the student body’s so that all students have more of an understanding about the
new policies and the changes in the law that are going to affect them.
Washburn University
has been working on multiple different drafts of their own gun policy that will
address guns on campus and create numerous safety measures to make sure that
students that bring guns on campus do it responsibly.
A few highlights of
the policy include:
· Students that live on campus must
provide adequate storage device to store their weapon in.
· Students are required to have a holster
in order to carry their gun on campus.
· Students who do not want to live with
someone who will store a gun in the room do not have to live with that
individual.
These highlights are
key elements to the policy that will be drafted. Other details about the policy
include proper ways to own a gun on campus, what position the hammer of a gun
has to be in, how a bullet is kept in the chamber of specific models of guns
and more.
With the new law
allowing concern carry on college campus being put into affect July 2017 the only
thing that these institutions can do now is create valid ways to create safe
practices around the law. Conceal and Carry is coming to college campuses only
thing left to do is prepare for it.

ReplyDeleteI did not know all these regulations that are to come. With conceal and carry being allowed on student campus, I believe it is something that is a good change. I am sure students carry their own even now onto campus. Just a measure of safety as I see it.
