Students and staff at a US university will be allowed to carry guns on to campus thanks to a Supreme Court ruling. The decision concerning the University of Colorado overrides the institution’s own regulation, passed in 1994, that banned concealed handguns even when their owners had obtained the relevant state permits. The court found that the 2003 Concealed Carry Act – which allows people with concealed-weapon permits to carry guns in “all areas of the state” – trumped the university’s policy, Reuters reported. Ken McConnellogue, a University of Colorado spokesman, said that it was disappointed with the result.
