Caucus & COW

Overview

Limits the authority of a university, college or community college governing board to prohibit a person from lawfully possessing a concealed weapon under a valid permit or transporting or storing a firearm in the person's car or motorcycle on university, college or community college campus.

History

Current law requires the governing board of every educational institution to adopt and enforce rules pursuant to Title 41, Chapter 6, for the purpose of maintaining order and public safety. Any weapon, dangerous instrument or explosive that is found to violate the educational institution's regulations established by the board is subject to forfeiture pursuant to A.R.S. § 13-3105 and A.R.S. Title 13, Chapter 39

Educational institution is defined as any university, college, community college, high school or common school in the state of Arizona. Property of an educational institution is defined to include any land, buildings or other facilities that are owned, operated or controlled by the Board of an educational institution and devoted to educational purposes (A.R.S. § 13-2911).

A.R.S. § 13-3112 outlines the process and requirements for a person to obtain a permit to carry a concealed weapon, and A.R.S. § 12-781 provides for the lawful transportation or storage of a firearm in or on a person's privately owned motor vehicle or motorcycle.

a) the possession of a concealed weapon by an individual who possess a valid permit in accordance with A.R.S. § 13-3112; or

b) the transportation or storage of a firearm pursuant to A.R.S. § 12-781. (Sec. 1)
