I ran into an EMU friend and colleague this morning who said to me “hey, why don’t you put something about the concealed weapons law on the blog?” So here it is, with a few links.
First, from the Echo, “Concealed weapons bill would allow guns in trunks on campus.”
Second, from AnnArbor.com, “Campus gun law bill being revised.”
As you can imagine, there is “enthusiastic” discussion on both sites, a lot of it coming from the group concealedcampus.com, which has this charming logo:
Anyway, I haven’t heard much about this bill lately; is it bottled up while the state figures out its latest budget crisis?
Update:
Shortly after I posted this, EMU-AAUP President Susan Moeller sent around this email:
This afternoon EMU’s Student Government is sponsoring a panel to discuss the Michigan Legislative bills which would allow people to carry concealed weapons on campus; the panel will be held in room 350 of the Student Center at 3:00 to 5 p.m. Please see the Student Government website for more information on the bills and panel.

Paul Leighton, professor of criminology and the vice president of the EMU-AAUP, will be a panelist.
Please attend, if at all possible, to show your support for our position against the passage of these bills.
