Citizens in Charge

We noted back in December the creation of a new issue committee seeking to ban conceal carry on Colorado college campuses.  But compared to how much attention the high profile fracking bans are receiving, this damaging ballot measure appears to be largely flying under the radar.

The Daily Camera reports that anti-gun organizers have “collected half the signatures needed for a November ballot measure asking voters to ban concealed weapons on public college and university campuses in Colorado.”  Petitioners must turn in 86,105 valid signatures by June 30 to qualify for the ballot.  To be safe, they should collect closer to 120,000 signatures to accommodate for those that are disqualified.
