Since the passing of Senate Bill 1254 –
the bill allowing concealed gun carry on state university and college
campuses – Idaho State University has raised issue with Idaho Gov.
C.L. “Butch” Otter concerning their nuclear research unit.
ISU's nuclear research unit runs on the
guidelines set by the national Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which
has a zero-tolerance policy regarding firearms at licensed nuclear
facilities. ISU President Arthur Vailas told Otter the research
program is at risk if the legislature continues to support
introducing concealed firearms on campus.
Gov. Otter said he had no idea as to
the commission's guidelines.
SB 1254 is scheduled for a committee
hearing in the House State Affairs Committee Thursday, Feb. 27.
