From the article:

BOULDER — A student group will try to persuade the University of Colorado regents this week to loosen the school's gun-control rules and allow those with handgun permits to pack heat on campus.

The Colorado Springs chapter of the Students for Concealed Carry on Campus argues that gun-free zones on college campuses translate into a ban on self-defense.

The group's petition argues: "Gun-free zones have proven ineffective. Criminals do not respect gun-free zones any more than they respect human life. Gun-free zones only disarm victims."
-----------------------------

Why do schools get an exemption for self-carry? Here in Florida we're allowed to take our guns to work and leave them in our cars. If I work at University of South Florida do I have to leave my gun at home and take a chance on getting to and from work safely?

1. additional information

You misunderstand completely the concern that the Board of Regents has. Not everyone has had the benefit of a college education or the insight inculcated by decades in an academic environment. (Not to mention, tenure)

However, by watching this short video, you will undoubtedly see how enlightened and effective their system really is.

3. They just can't help themselves can they?

They can't do it. They can't refrain from such sensational and highly stylized phrases as "pack heat". What is this a 1947 detective novel? Good lord these people suck at their job, objectively putting stories to print!
