    The Regent's stupidity could cost a lot of people their lives. That is the exact opposite of what needs to be done. Persons with concealed carry permits should be allowed on all school campuses. There are far too many places in the law that prohibit concealed carry. The law needs to be updated and streamlined. For instance, look what happened in a church recently when one of the members was armed and saved many lives. Thank you, Lynn
