Appellate Court Allows Challenge to Campus Gun Ban in Colorado
The Colorado Court of Appeals ruled on Thursday that a lawsuit challenging the University of Colorado's ban on concealed weapons can go forward, Law Week Colorado reported. A lower court had dismissed the suit in deference to the regents' policy-making authority.

"Had the legislature intended to exempt universities, it knew how to do so," the panel's opinion states.
