Elite Instructors. A few bills have been introduced since but haven't advanced. ASU students who support a change plan to promote the issue both on campus and next year at the state Capitol. Bolick's club is collecting signatures on an online petition and working to raise awareness of the issue among ASU students. But for now, guns are prohibited at all three state universities by school policy and by the Arizona Board of Regents, the governing body for the schools.
In October , Northern Arizona University students got in an altercation that started just off campus, moved onto campus and turned deadly. One student went to his car, grabbed a gun, and in what he said was self-defense, fired shots. One student died and three were wounded in the chaotic melee, and the student who fired the gun was sentenced to prison for manslaughter and aggravated assault.
The Board of Regents has previously discussed the issue of campus carry at length, has passed a unanimous resolution opposing guns on campus and has "repeatedly reaffirmed" that position, spokesperson Sarah Harper wrote in an email. Gun rules at public universities should match state law, Bolick said, which allows for open carry for those over 18 and concealed carry without a permit for those over Bolick, who is the son of Secretary of State candidate and state Rep.
There is that legitimate concern after dark on campus, no matter how many safety escorts we have, no matter how many ASU PD we have on campus. Harper at the Board of Regents said campus police and community law enforcement are "well-equipped and highly-trained professionals and are best prepared to ensure the safety of our university communities.
An ASU spokesperson declined to comment on the campus carry effort, deferring to the response provided by the Board of Regents.
Bolick said change from the university is unlikely, so the most plausible way to get guns on campus is through the Legislature, and lawmakers could soon have a timely opening for lawmakers to reconsider the issue. The U. A gun policy expert at the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Prevention and Policy expects that decision could have implications on the public carry and use of guns, which may shape conversations on campus carry.
State lawmakers have several times tried — and failed — to allow guns on Arizona's university and community college campuses. Students think they may have a window by starting discussions now and advocating for the inclusion of campus carry in the Republican-majority agenda when the legislative session starts in January, Pitts said. An early push at the state Capitol came in , the year after the Virginia Tech shooting that left 32 people dead and 17 wounded and became the deadliest school shooting in the nation.
Keep in mind that each phase of gunsmithing may have a separate license required by federal law. Guns are dangerous. Be certain that you are comfortable with your training before you handle a firearm. Your license application s may require a monetary fee or tax. Read your form instructions carefully. Your criminal history will be checked during the application process and depending on circumstances a criminal history can prevent you from becoming licensed for gunsmithing.
Gunsmith licenses are not the same as a gun permit. A gun permit is required for your personal weapon and can be obtained through the Tennessee Department of Safety. Yvonne Ward began her professional writing career in She wrote a true-crime book published in and has two more underway.
