To the campus community:
We have recently received a handful of inquiries concerning firearms on campus, and I want to take a moment to provide the facts concerning two recent incidents and remind our students, faculty and staff of the law and policy related to firearms.
Over the past two weeks, campus police managed two firearm-related incidents. In the first, an unloaded, disassembled handgun was seized from a residence hall room. In the second, an unloaded rifle with a trigger safety lock was seized from a student’s vehicle. In both cases, the students cooperated with police and our officers promptly secured the weapons, eliminating any threat to the community. Both cases have been turned over to the courts and student judicial affairs. Finally, both students have been interim suspended pending an outcome of the judicial process.
Community members need to be mindful that bringing a firearm onto campus violates state law and university policy, even if a person has a license to carry a firearm. The Department of Public Safety and Student Judicial Affairs will strictly enforce these laws and policies. We urge anyone who is aware of the presence of a firearm on campus to call the DPS immediately at X9191 or 508.999.9191.

read about this one this morning in the sub-standard times. funny that in the newspapers they decided to call it a "military style assault weapon" then, when the university wants to downplay it and not scare people in the email, they use the term rifle.

You've got to remember that it's always easier and safer going after peaceful law-abiding citizens who make minor mistakes than it is the real criminals. Real criminals sometimes shoot at you, and their lawyers often have rabies.

Hopefully neither of these people admits to carrying it "on their person" on campus, although this may be tough for the pistol owner, it shouldn't be a problem for the AR15 owner.Figures that drunken riots, property damage, thefts, drugs, assaults and rapes get handled "internally" but an unloaded, disassembled gun gets the licensed owner served up to the courts on a platter before the ink is dry on the press release.

Remember folks they "removed any threat to the community".
