Campus Ledger:

A new group of students is challenging the college’s current concealed weapons policy with a petition.

Headed by Ian Thomas, student, the group known as the Students for Concealed
Carry on Campus (SCCC) is petitioning to give college students “who have a concealed carry license the right to carry on all public universities in the state of Kansas.”

The petition could be presented to the Board of Trustees or even members of the Kansas legislature.

Currently, the only persons allowed to bring guns on campus are college police and law enforcement officials. Firearms and other weapons are strictly prohibited in all other cases, with a “no guns” symbol prominent on entrances around campus.
