Oregon Senate Kills Guns on Campus Bill

A bill that would prevent concealed handgun license holders from carrying guns on school campuses in Oregon has failed in the State Senate. Senator Doug Whitsett voted with the majority, saying the Second Amendment allows an individual to bear arms. Supporters of the legislation were looking for ways protect students and reduce opportunities for weapons to get into the wrong hands. The Oregon State Board of Higher Education will vote on a policy preventing guns on public college and university campuses during a meeting Friday.
