The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Erik Simpson, R-moran-Idaho Falls, said that the bill will increase safety at the state’s public universities and community colleges, perhaps resulting in lower violence and ensuring Second Amendment rights.

“This bill is a solution to a non-existent problem with significant negative impacts,” John Uda, executive director of campus security at Boise State, said. “Boise State is committed to maintaining a safe and secure environment that is free of violence. This obligation includes eliminating recognized hazards from campus community that contribute to violence and serious harm.”

One of the main concerns for Boise State, according to Kevin Satterlee, vice president and general counsel at BSU, is that the bill “would endanger BSU’s ability to book major entertainment acts in its venues, as standards for such bookings require weapons to be excluded.”

“The argument is … if everybody gets guns nobody’s going to use them,” Glandon said. “The down side of that is if everybody has guns you don’t know what’s going to happen. You could have a disaster.”

1. We don't tell people not to carry other life saving equipment...

I've got a fire extinguisher, defib, and pistol in my car...

In college I never felt threatened 88-93, but times have changed.


Safety first.

3. Basically... This hurts my feelings so we don't want it.

“Boise State is committed to maintaining a safe and secure environment that is free of violence. This obligation includes eliminating recognized hazards from campus community that contribute to violence and serious harm.

1. They are hardly "free" from violence. Just look up their crime stats.
2. Where is their empirical data to back up the claim that a CCW on campus is a "recognized hazard"? Just saying that something is, does not mean it is.
