A bill to allow firearms on Idaho’s public university and college campuses has failed to advance in the Senate. <br>
<br>
Lawmakers on the Senate State Affairs Committee decided against moving
the legislation forward today after two hours of public testimony. <br>
<br>
The issue hit home for Senate Majority Leader Bart Davis, whose
23-year-old son died from a gunshot wound to the chest at a Boise party
eight years ago. Cameron Wade Davis, a Boise State University student,
was shot by another student carrying a concealed weapon. <br>
<br>
Davis sits on the Senate panel and interjected shortly after University
of Idaho law student Jonathan Sawmiller argued that students with guns
were responsible citizens and not, as some would suggest, “drunken frat
boys” stumbling around firing indiscriminately. <br>
<br>
Davis said: “This is not an intellectual exercise for me and my family.” <br>
