More states are working toward campus carry

Lawmakers across the country want to add their states to the short list of states that allow students, faculty, and staff to legally carry concealed firearms on college campuses.

There are only seven states that currently allow concealed firearms on campus with some exceptions depending on the state.

As previously reported by Campus Reform, there are currently 10 states trying to add college campuses to the list of permissible places to carry a concealed firearm, including: Nevada, Indiana, Montana, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Wyoming, and Florida.

According to National Conference of State Legislatures, there were 19 states in 2013 that introduced legislation to lift the restriction of concealed carry licensees on college campuses. Fourteen states continued to work on similar legislation in 2014.

Twenty-three states give the decision to ban or allow concealed firearms on campuses to individual schools: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia.

According to Armed Campuses, as of August 21, 2013, out of the 23 states that give universities the authority to make their own policies regarding firearms, there are only six (California University of Pennsylvania, Edinboro University, Kutztown University, Lock Haven University, Millersville University of Pennsylvania, and Slippery Rock University) that allow campus-carry.
