CU REGENTS VOTE TO APPEAL REVERSAL OF HANDGUN BAN


Last week, the University of Colorado Board of Regents voted 5-4 to appeal the Colorado Court of Appeals April ruling in Students for Concealed Carry on Campus v. CU Regents which declared the CU concealed carry ban illegal.  The COA held that the 2003 Colorado Concealed Carry Act did not provide an exemption for CU or any other public college/university, and thus CUs ban on licensed concealed carry was contrary to state law.  Colorado State University rescinded a planned gun ban on its campuses in wake of the COA decision.

CU will now prepare a petition for writ of certiorari to the Colorado Supreme Court, asking it to review and reverse the COA.  If three of the seven justices on the Supreme Court vote to grant the writ, the matter will be briefed and argued before the Court, likely sometime next year.

This is a good opportunity to remind Colorado gun owners and those who believe in the inalienable right of self-defense that CU Regents are elected officials—DID YOU FIND OUT YOUR REGENT’S POSITION ON FIREARMS RIGHTS AND SELF-DEFENSE BEFORE YOU VOTED FOR HIM/HER?  Remember that when you vote this November.  And remember that the winner of the Governor’s race will likely select several new Colorado Supreme Court Justices during his term.  DO YOU KNOW THE CANDIDATES’ POSITIONS ON YOUR FIRST FREEDOM?  Remember to vote…and Vote Freedom First!
