[Vision2020] House Bill 222 - Weapons on campus

[Saundra Lund]

Hi Lynn,

Huh -- I don't know anything about it and am as curious as you are to know
more.

I can't fathom why he'd be suing the University of Idaho since he lived
off-campus and the Jason Hamilton shooting took place off campus.  Maybe
he's suing the UI for a refund of fees paid for that semester?

I can't help but editorialize:  yet *another* example to defeat the
rationale (and I use the term loosely) of gun nuts.  Having a gun didn't do
Husmann a bit of good other than to give him a false sense of confidence to
think that a civilian voluntarily entering a gun battle was a smart thing to
do.

The following is a quote from today's Boise Weekly:

"Marty Peterson, assistant to the president of the University of Idaho,
talked about a 2007 incident when a sniper terrorized the community of
Moscow.

"We had a U of I student grab his .45 caliber pistol and head toward the
sniper," said Peterson. "The sniper proceeded to fire 31 rounds at the
student, hitting him with three bullets. Fortunately he lived, but that
student is now suing the university."

Is the person who grabbed their .45 really suing the U of I? I had not heard
of this action resulting from that tragic incident. I do not understand how
anyone could possibly include the University as having something to defend
re. this tragedy of domestic violence escalating horrifically. Does anyone
know more about this?
