WVU hopes for specific exemptions on 'campus carry' bill

"If the Legislature is laser-focused on passing H.B. 2519, The Campus Self Defense Act, then West Virginia University remains just as focused on making sure a number of requested exemptions make it into the final version of the law.

Rob Alsop, Vice President for Strategic Initiatives at WVU, said there’s already been good dialogue on the bill as WVU works to convince legislators to adopt a number of exemptions to the proposed law that would allow for concealed carry on college campuses."

I'd post this in GD, but I'm sure it would get locked. I'm a professor at WVU. This is appalling.

a 96 mile trip to work and so he must be armed.

Are highwaymen and robbers as common as as they were in the 18th century? Should I be armed if I visit there?

This is as lawless a place as I’ve ever lived, and by that I mean our government produced stupid ass laws.

'“We haven’t gotten everything that we want,” Alsop said Wednesday on MetroNews “Talkline” with Hoppy Kercheval. “But we have gotten a number of exemptions that will allow us to keep dangerous weapons off the most sensitive areas of campus where they have no business being.”'
