Students for Concealed Carry and another gun-rights group have filed a civil suit in state court against Ohio State University, alleging that the school’s anti-gun policy is so breathtaking in its scope that it is illegal under state law.
The gun-rights advocates say the policy bans students from carrying firearms when they aren’t even on Ohio State’s campus, reports Reason.
The plaintiffs concede that Ohio State bureaucrats can generally prevent students from possessing guns on campus. Their grievance is that university policy prohibits students from having guns when they are involved in official Ohio State-related activities that occur off campus. They say this rule is blatantly illegal.
School policy also prevents students from leaving guns in their locked cars. Such a policy is illegal, lawyers for Students for Concealed Carry argue, because state law specifically allows students to leave guns in their locked vehicles.
