There was a story tonight on our local Fox affiliate , a student at Utah Valley University was confronted by campus police for open-carrying on campus. They haven't posted the story on the website yet, but the long and short of it is; he was posting material as president of the campus republican chapter, someone called the campus police for MWAG, they responded. As the conversation became prolonged, he pulled out his iphone and started filming. The news team confirmed with BCI, the student was well within his rights and the state college has no latitude to make gun laws, the state has pre-emption. The police kept trying to insist that the law doesn't ALLOW students to open carry, but the truth is, it doesn't PROHIBIT it. I attended this campus a long time ago, and I had some VERY silly conversations with the campus cops and their notions of what is and is not legal. This isn't even a NEW law and they don't know what it is.

This will force clarification to campus cops in their interpretation of the law, but I still don't want to be one of the cases that they learn from.
