Firearms bill worries campus<BR>> Boise State says events would be
jeopardized<BR>><BR>> BOISE – Boise State University could lose hundreds
of thousands of dollars<BR>> in revenue from lost sporting and
entertainment events if Idaho lawmakers<BR>> approve a bill to allow guns
on college campuses, a school official says.<BR>><BR>> Bruce Newcomb,
the university’s director of government affairs and a<BR>> former speaker
of the Idaho House, said such a law could jeopardize<BR>> hosting events
such as the NCAA men’s basketball tournament and the<BR>> scheduled 2012
NCAA Division I men’s and women’s indoor track and field<BR>>
championships.<BR>><BR>> “We’re convinced this is going to interfere
with those endeavors,” Newcomb<BR>> told the Idaho
Statesman.<BR>><BR>> The Idaho House on Wednesday approved a bill that
would allow firearms on<BR>> public university and college campuses. It now
goes to the Senate.<BR>><BR>> If it becomes law, it would prohibit
schools from banning firearms, either<BR>> carried openly or by people with
concealed weapons permits, anywhere on<BR>> campus except in undergraduate
residence halls. Guns would be allowed at<BR>> athletic
events.<BR>><BR>> Idaho law now gives university and college presidents
authority to<BR>> prohibit firearms on campus. Boise State University,
Idaho State<BR>> University, the University of Idaho, Lewis-Clark State
College and several<BR>> community colleges throughout the state have
adopted their own regulations<BR>> to prohibit guns on
campus.<BR>><BR>> Rep. Marv Hagedorn, R-Meridian, co-sponsored the
current legislation and<BR>> disagrees that schools would experience any
negative ramifications. He<BR>> also wondered how the school knows guns
aren’t being taken on campus<BR>> already, especially because he said he’s
often carried guns to Boise State<BR>> venues.<BR>><BR>> “My question
would be to Boise State: How do they know people aren’t<BR>> carrying guns
there now? None of those venues have metal detectors. They<BR>> don’t say
to the visitors or the ticket-holders, ‘Don’t bring your guns<BR>> because
this is a gun-free zone,’&#8201;” Hagedorn said. “I have never<BR>>
seen anything. I have carried to a lot of those venues, and I did not
know<BR>> the policy, nor did I see any signs.”<BR>><BR>> Boise State
spokesman Frank Zang said the campus has more than 1 million<BR>> visits
annually by people attending hundreds of sports, cultural and<BR>>
entertainment events.<BR>><BR>> “We are concerned that allowing guns on
campus would have an adverse<BR>> effect on attracting these events to
Boise,” he said. “The industry<BR>> standard does not allow weapons in the
facilities.”<BR>><BR>> Creston Thornton, a concert promoter with CT
Touring, said weapons are not<BR>> allowed at concerts either. Taco Bell
Arena, on the Boise State campus,<BR>> has hosted concerts by the Dave
Matthews Band, Toby Keith, Metallica and<BR>> Journey.<BR>><BR>> “We
don’t even allow glass bottles because they can be used as weapons.<BR>>
It’s just assumed there’s a no-weapons policy,” said Thornton.<BR>><BR>>
Rep. Erik Simpson, R-Idaho Falls, said passing a law allowing guns on<BR>>
campus would not stop the NCAA men’s basketball tournament from coming
to<BR>> Boise State, where early-round games have been held eight times
since<BR>> 1983, most recently in 2009.<BR>><BR>> But the NCAA in its
2009 operating manual for the tournament states that<BR>> “firearms and
explosives of any kind are not permitted.”<BR>><BR>> The University of
Utah, however, held part of the NCAA women’s gymnastics<BR>> championship.
Utah does not allow firearms bans on college campuses.<BR>><BR>> “It’s a
red herring,” said Simpson. “There is no truth to it. It is not a<BR>>
condition of them appearing on a campus. It’s a guideline. It’s a
policy.<BR>> I don’t think policy is going to trump state
law.”<BR>><BR>>
