Colorado: Csu

A lawsuit challenging the University of Colorado's gun ban is slowly making its way through the courts. The outcome of the case may not only determine the fate of CU's policy, but Colorado State University's as well. CSU has put its plans to develop a campus-specific handgun policy on hold until the lawsuit against CU is resolved, continuing for the time being to allow concealed weapons on campus in accordance with state law.

Students for Concealed Carry on Campus, or SCCC, filed a lawsuit in December against the University of Colorado over a handgun ban that prohibits students with state-issued concealed carry permits from possessing their weapons on campus.

Word came this week that former Sen. Wayne Allard was taking a position with the top-shelf DC lobbying firm The Livingston Group, which settled any remaining questions about his bid to become CSU chancellor.

For someone ignominiously ranked by Time Magazine as one of the Five Worst Senators, you have to admit a job at Livingston is a pretty big score. Clients are a veritable who's who of...shall we say, people that need special handling, from Accenture to the Socialist People's Libyan Arab Great Jamahiriya (see photo--it's okay, that's a tinpot dictator we can work with now), and the pay is downright eye-popping by all accounts.

WASHINGTON — The way Tom Tancredo sees it, he got to live out a scene from his favorite movie.

In the classic Western "Rio Bravo," Ricky Nelson and John Wayne fight a battle against the movie's bad guys. To draw their opponents out, Nelson fires a shot and says: "That ought to start something." It does, with the gunfight resuming.

Tancredo fired metaphorical shots as a congressman from Littleton.

By repeatedly making provocative statements during his 10 years in Congress, Tancredo believes he spurred activism and helped block legislation that would have allowed illegal immigrants to eventually gain legal status.
