Yesterday The Daily Caller<\/a> posted an article about a change in gun policy at the University of Kansas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The following is a statement from the web page<\/a> of the University of Kansas<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Beginning July 1, 2017, any individual who is 21 years of age or older and who is not prohibited or disqualified by law and who is lawfully eligible to carry a concealed handgun<\/a> in Kansas<\/a> shall not be precluded from doing so on University campuses, including all facilities owned or leased by the University, except (1) on the Kansas City, Kansas<\/a> campus of the KU Medical Center in the Health Care District<\/a>; (2) in buildings and public areas of buildings for which adequate security measures are provided or, (3) in a specified restricted access area of a building. Within such restricted access areas, concealed carry<\/a> will be banned. Individuals who are not employees of the University may be authorized access through a restricted access entrance only pursuant to a University screening process that is compliant with the provisions of the PFPA<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So what happened when that policy was put into effect?<\/p>\n

The Daily Caller reports:<\/p>\n

Interestingly, although there have been 14 weapons violations since 2008, the tally for 2017 was exactly zero.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, you read that right \u2014 zero weapons violations at campus carry-friendly Kansas University, despite the fact that actual weapons on campus undoubtedly increased.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The KU Office of Public Safety\u2019s annual crime statistics list is released each spring and includes only actual crimes under the law, not other university policy violations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although KU police seemed to attribute the decline to added police and security as well as their use of \u201csecurity technology\u201d like on-campus cameras, the lack of gun crimes nevertheless does nothing to bolster liberal gun control arguments.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gun-free zones tell a potential shooter that he will meet no opposition. When concealed carry is in effect, the risk is much higher for a person who wants to go on a shooting spree–it may cost him his life. Good guys with guns are really the only way to stop bad guys with guns.<\/p>\n

You can argue for more gun laws all you want, but this is what happens when concealed carry is in effect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
