I'm at a point where this campus carry thing and the college exempt running out by 2017 is getting pretty stretched. I swear the next major attack that happens people will scream "GET ALL GUNS" and run like chickens with their heads cut off. I don't want to NOT care about certain events, but this one pushing it. Part of me is kind of glad I'll be moving back to Alaska again permanently where guns are as normal as seeing a damn squirrel. Nothing against any folks or getting personal, but politics gets tiring!

Query based on the quoted law related to the exemption. Exemption granted on for 4 years from the time lawwentinto effect or no exemption may last less than or longer than 4 years from when granted ( AG notified)

There is a one time four year exemption. It can last less than four years if the no guns signs are taken down. The exemption was started by the passing of the statute it can not be extended unless another statute is passed. I personally don't see that happening. In 2017 they will have to allow guns or put in metal detectors manned by armed security or law enforcement at every entrance to every building. I hope this answers your query.

" The English professor hid under her desk and called 911, and she has vowed to do it again.
It turns out that the gunmen were Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) cadets making their way to a “Leadership Lab” training drill."

The fine folks in Wyandotte / KCK have decided once again that state laws don't apply in KCK. Students and teachers fearful of an armed non government presence should enroll at KCKCC. Here is the law that WYCO/KCK passed. It basically says the Unified Govt can do a wole bunch of things the state says they can't.

Sec. 22-189. - Carrying concealed weapons; prohibited acts.
(a)
It shall be unlawful for any person licensed or recognized as a valid out-of-state licensee pursuant to the Personal and Family Protection Act, and amendments thereto, to carry a concealed weapon into:

(e)
Nothing in the Personal and Family Protection Act herein shall be construed to prevent:

(2)
Any entity owning or operating business premises open to the public from restricting or prohibiting in any manner persons licensed under this Act from carrying a concealed weapon while on such premises, provided that the premises are posted, in a manner reasonably likely to come to the attention of persons entering the premises, as premises where carrying a concealed weapon is prohibited; or
(3)
A property owner from restricting or prohibiting in any manner persons licensed under this Act from carrying a concealed weapon while on such property, provided that the premises are posted, in a manner reasonably likely to come to the attention of persons entering the property where carrying a concealed weapon is prohibited.

Do you know when this law passed? It looks like this law is old (2006) and simply mirrors the state law at the time, which is what a lot of localities do. They also sometimes don't refresh those laws quickly when the underlying state law changes.

That article with the teacher who called 911 during the ROTC practice...I laughed a bit harder than I should've.

A majority of respondents were also concerned that allowing guns in the classroom would limit their academic freedom “to teach the material and engage with students in a way that optimizes learning,” and a majority said they would need to change how they teach their course.

Why would you have to change your method of teaching? Are you (the 'teacher') that much of an icehole that your current method could get you shot for it? You might want to rectify that little problem.

Could be many teachers are just plain cowards !
Or they should carry themselves !
