Does anyone have information/data regarding assaults/threats with firearms
on campus? Last week we recently had an incident over a game of pool in our
Student Activity Center. 3 students got into an argument and one pulled a
gun. All were sober too. Here in Indiana it is a state law that firearms are
not allowed on public school property except for law enforcement personnel.
Even with a permit to carry.

Colleagues,

I am looking for a reality test on a piece of information I picked up
once.  Somewhere, I read that the single most effective suicide
prevention measure that a college/university could do is to have a
no-firearms-on-campus policy.

I can't remember where I saw this.  And I am wondering if I even
remember it correctly.  In other words, does anyone know if this is true
(empirically speaking) and, if so, where it came from?

Thanks very much!  I am looking forward to attending the AUCCCD
conference for the first time.

Paul
