Here's a news item from the Associated Press:  BOISE, Idaho (AP) — An Idaho Falls lawmaker is pushing a bill that would allow students, faculty and staff to legally carry concealed weapons on university campuses — except in undergraduate residence halls. Republican Rep. Erik Simpson's bill won initial approval from the House State Affairs Committee Thursday. It seeks to limit the ability of administrators at Idaho's four public universities to restrict concealed weapons on campus. It preserves, however, the ability to keep concealed weapons out of dormitories for undergrads. Existing statutes give administrators authority to prohibit firearms anywhere on campus. Simpson says the bill would increase safety by allowing armed, law-abiding students or teachers to step in and help prevent violent crimes. The legislation comes weeks after a law student sued the University of Idaho over rules preventing him from storing firearms in his on-campus apartment; you can read an article on that case in the University of Idaho Argonaut here.
