Colorado Supreme Court to hear university gun ban case

DENVER (AP) ―The seven Colorado Supreme Court justices have agreed to hear arguments on whether campus gun bans are legal, the court announced Monday.

The Colorado Court of Appeals in April ruled in favor of a gun-rights group that sued the University of Colorado, arguing that a 1994 university policy banning concealed weapons violates state gun laws.

The court agreed to examine two issues surrounding CU's ban. First is whether the Board of Regents has the authority to enact such a ban, and second, what test should the court apply in analyzing whether such a ban is constitutional.
