Judge Says UM System Ban on Guns is Constitutional

The University of Missouri System’s ban on carrying guns on campus has been upheld by a local judge.

Judge Jeff Harris ruled Monday that the ban does not violate the state constitution.

The rule was challenged by two separate lawsuits filed in 2015 by then Attorney General Josh Hawley and MU law professor Royce Barondes, according to previous Missourian reporting.

Students voiced support for the gun ban on campus Tuesday.
