BSU prof’s New York Times op-ed piece asks, ‘When May I Shoot a Student?’

An op-ed piece in the New York Times by a BSU professor about SB 1254, the guns-on-campus bill, is drawing attention across the country; it was published yesterday. The article by Greg Hampikian is entitled, “When May I Shoot a Student?” In it, Hampikian, tongue in cheek, tells the Idaho Legislature, “I am sure that it has not escaped your attention that the library would make an excellent shooting range, and the bookstore could do with fewer books and more ammo choices.” You can read the article here.
