The University of Colorado announced in August that it would ban firearms in dorms, but would also create a segregated residential area for students who are concealed-carry permit holders. Now more than three months after the rule change no students have asked to live in the segregated residential area that allows guns on the Boulder or Colorado Springs campuses, The Denver Post reports.
Why that is, exactly, isn't clear and could range from a small number of permit holders on campus that also live in dorms to students that are concealed-carry permit holders not wanting to live in an area that basically shines a spotlight on the fact that they have firearms in their dorm room and might feel that the new rule violates their rights.
The University of Colorado announced the change to students' housing contracts for the Boulder and Colorado Springs campuses on August 16. The new rule states that students who hold a Colorado concealed-carry permit can no longer keep a handgun in the dorms and could be asked to relocate to a university apartment or a residential area set aside for concealed-carry permit holders over the age of 21. If the student is found with a firearm in their dorm room, they may be released from their residence hall contract, according to a press release from University of Colorado Boulder.
The new rule also prevents concealed-carry permit holders from bringing a gun to any event at Folsom Field or ticketed performance venue. The university is treating the purchase of a ticket to a CU public performance as an agreement with the university to not carry a concealed weapon, even as a valid permit holder, into the venue.

And actually it was the projectile that killed the person, not the gun.
