First, Jerry Falwell's Liberty:

Firearms on Campus

The possession, storage, display, or use of any kind of ammunition, firearms, replicas, fireworks, explosives, air rifles, air pistols, paintball guns, or any other potentially lethal instrument is prohibited on University property. ANY WATER GUN THAT IS SIMILAR TO ANY TYPE OF FIREARM FITS IN THIS CATEGORY. ANY WATER GUN THAT IS USED IN ANY WAY TO ANNOY ANOTHER PERSON WILL ALSO BE CONFISCATED. Any questions regarding this regulation should be directed to the Liberty University Police Department, (434) 582-7641 or (434) 582-3911.

Now, Pat Robertson's Regent University:

Weapons Policy:

Regent University faculty, staff, students or visitors are prohibited from using or possessing fireworks, firearms, or other dangerous weapons or material on University property. Firearms are defined as any gun, rifle, pistol or handgun designed to fire bullets, BB-¦s, pellets, or shot regardless of propellant used. Weapons include, but are not limited to, knives, razors, metal knuckles, hatchets, foils, blackjacks, nun chankas, bows and arrows or any explosive or incendiary devices. Exception to this policy will apply to sworn or authorized public safety personnel in the performance of their duties.

Man, what IS it with these religious conservatives and their anti-gun bias?  What a bunch of wusses.  Heh.

After this incident at UVA (Gordie - 5/4/2007 3:05:44 PM)
Police face heat over UVa gun scare

Prosecutors and police are facing scrutiny for the decision to charge four University of Virginia students with brandishing a firearm in connection with a student filmmaking project involving a BB gun.
In the 10 days since the late-night incident at Wilsdorf Hall, some are still asking if the students should face criminal charges and if police handled the incident properly.
Meanwhile, as the students make their way through final exams this week and await a June trial, at least one has apologized.
Christopher Allen Smith, a second-year student from Tappahannock, wrote a letter to one woman who was frightened by seeing him holding the gun near the engineering building the night of April 23, according to Smith's lawyer, Charles Sipe.
"This truly is a kid who truly never had a teacher wave a finger at him," Sipe said. "He's probably never fired a gun in his entire life."
Sipe said that his client, who was among four students working on a Japanese 102 project, used an unloaded, plastic BB gun with a broken trigger to stage a robbery for a student film.

paintballs, huh? (martha - 5/4/2007 3:19:08 PM)
A recent news story on WSET talked about a paintball course that Liberty University will be setting up...with strict rules of course. Guess they will have to change the wording in the rulebook.


Brilliant, Lowell. (FMArouet - 5/4/2007 3:51:33 PM)
An excellent piece of research, well conceived.

Even those on the religious right know better than to permit weapons on campus. It goes to show how isolated the wingnuts who favor concealed weapons on campus really are.



Religious Bigotry (Susan P. - 5/4/2007 5:08:50 PM)
Doubtless, Lowell, you will be accused of religious bigotry for even bringing up this subject.  I mean, what's the gun policy at TCC, or VCU, or Georgetown, or U.Va.?  Why pick on Liberty and Regent, just because Falwell and Robertson feel free to pick on everyone else?  That's their sole prerogative, right?


Hey, what if I singled out these two schools (Lowell - 5/4/2007 5:14:10 PM)
for praise?  Like, let's say, "Pat Roberton's and Jerry Falwell's universities have really great cafeterias!"  Would that be religious bigotry, just cuz I singled them out? Hmmm...gotta go pray for guidance on that one! :)


Pointing Out (Gordie - 5/5/2007 7:34:37 AM)
Double standards is not religious bigotry.

Anyway Falwell and Robetson are not religious, they belong in the same class as the other radicals around the world who pick and choose the phrases out of their religious book that meets with their agenda and forget the rest of the book.

To list all the schools which forbd guns on campus would take up the entire space of RK, so go for it Lowell, show the double talkers to the rest of the world.
