A memorial service was held this Sunday for the victims of the deadly shooting at Northern Illinois University.
Classes are to resume Monday for the first time since the Feb. 14 shooting, in which NIU graduate Steve Kazmierczak opened fire in a classroom, killing five people and injuring 17 before committing suicide.On the heels of this senseless tragedy comes word that some students will not continue to be sheep at slaughter. Students at BYU pack C&C firearms. Utah is the only state in the Union to allow properly licensed & registered students to carry weapons at all public universities.
University of Utah spokeswoman Coralie Alder stressed that although the school has become a poster child in the media regarding guns on campus, the debate is really a statewide issue. "The university is following the law as determined by the Utah Legislature during last year's session, which allows concealed weapon permit holders to carry guns on university and colleges campuses, as well as other locations," she said.The only places on campus that have restrictions are the dormitories. Students can request a roommate who doesn't carry a gun.
