Location Restrictions: Certain Campus buildings and Public Areas within Campus buildings can be permanently or temporarily designated to prohibit concealed Handguns. There are no Campus buildings or Public Areas that have been permanently designated to prohibit Concealed Handguns with Adequate Security Measures (ASMs) in place. However, the 赌钱app可以微信提现 Police Department may temporarily designate a specific location as prohibiting concealed Handguns and use temporary ASMs as defined and required by law. Appropriate notice will be given whenever this temporary designation is made.
Campus locations leased by 赌钱app可以微信提现 or used for Off-Campus Activity, and owned by an entity that may lawfully exclude or permit firearms at their premises (Concealed or otherwise), may choose at their sole discretion to exclude or permit Handguns from their premises, notwithstanding a lease or use arrangement with 赌钱app可以微信提现. If Handguns are excluded at such locations and would otherwise be permitted by this Policy, individuals are expected to comply with the rules imposed by the location.
Safety Requirements: To reduce the risk of accidental discharge on Campus, when carrying a concealed Handgun on Campus (whether on or About the Person, such as in a carrier), the Concealed Handgun is to be secured in a holster that completely covers the trigger and the entire trigger guard area and that secures an external hammer in an un-cocked position through the use of a strap or by other means. The holster is to have sufficient tension or grip on the handgun to retain it in the holster even when subjected to unexpected jostling. Handguns with an external safety are to be carried with the safety in the “on” position. Semiautomatic Handguns are to be carried without a chambered round of ammunition and revolvers with the hammer resting on an empty cylinder.
Storage: Handgun storage is not provided by 赌钱app可以微信提现. Individuals may store a Handgun in the individual’s vehicle when the vehicle is locked, and the Handgun is secured in a location within the vehicle that is not visible from outside the vehicle. Handgun storage by any other means is prohibited. Specifically, it is prohibited for any individual to store a Handgun i) in a vehicle that is unlocked or when the Handgun is visible from outside the vehicle, ii) in an individual’s office, iii) in an unattended backpack or carrier, iv) in any type of locker or v) in any other location and under any circumstances except as specifically permitted by this Policy and by state and federal law.
Training: Training on the proper handling of a concealed Handgun is strongly encouraged. All 赌钱app可以微信提现 employees are eligible for 赌钱app可以微信提现 Continuing Education training reimbursement to supplement training for local, noncredit workshops, which could include a gun safety course (for reimbursement, employees must submit an Application to Staff Development). Additionally, 赌钱app可以微信提现 may periodically offer presentations to students and employees related to safe Handgun practices.
Even the lawful carrying of a concealed Handgun has its own risks. Any report of Weapons on a 赌钱app可以微信提现 Campus will be addressed by the 赌钱app可以微信提现 Police Department or local police departments in coordination with the 赌钱app可以微信提现 Police Department. The lawful carrying of a Concealed Handgun should not create concerns on Campus; however, anything other than the lawful carrying of a Concealed Handgun has the potential to create confusion and additional risk during police responses.
Enforcement:
Any individual violating this Policy will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action, including but not limited to suspension, expulsion, termination of employment, immediate removal/trespass from the premises, and arrest. Enforcement of this Policy will be administered by the 赌钱app可以微信提现 Police Department.
