The ******* (cough) Liberal Arts college authorities had voted NOT to allow their guards to carry firearms.
How fucked up is that? "Let me see. Where oh where would someone planning on murdering as many innocents as they could go to be sure no one was going to stop them?
I know! At a ******* LIBERAL arts college that doesn't allow its guards to be armed". How ******* disgraceful. I hope the college authorities are happy. Really really a shame the victims weren't
family members of the authorities.
That's incorrect.

The
conservative site Breitbart and others assert that guns were banned at UCC. This is not true. The student code of conduct bans guns "without written authorization." Under Oregon law, the university could not ban people with a valid concealed carry license from bringing their weapons on campus. (They could ban gun from
various buildings and facilities.) Conservative writer Dana Loesch, who initially claimed the campus was a "gun free zone," updated her article to clarify that
individuals with concealed carry permits were allowed to bring guns on campus.
There was, in fact, someone on campus with a concealed carry weapon at the time of the massacre. A local reporter explained to CNN that it was legal for him to have such a weapon on campus.
UCC Was Not A ‘Gun Free Zone’ Because Public Colleges In Oregon Can’t Ban Guns
