Some Pa. state schools allow guns amid review

Just in time for those summer college tours, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has reviewed its policy on guns on college campuses and decided that students should be allowed to pack.  So, fair warning, if you are heading to Pennsylvania, be aware that your child's dorm mates could be packing.

From the article by reporter Michael Rubinkam (AP) (yellow highlights my own):
At least five Pennsylvania state-owned universities are now allowing guns on campus after the state's lawyers concluded that an outright ban on weapons was likely unconstitutional.

Kutztown, Shippensburg, Edinboro, Slippery Rock and Millersville universities have all quietly changed their policies over the past year to reflect the advice of lawyers in the governor's office and the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education. Students in those schools are now allowed to have weapons on campus, though they are still generally banned from school buildings and athletic events.
