Headline of the week:

“State Fair Bans Guns; State Fair Workers Robbed at Gun Point”

Update on MS universities

We noted last week that Mississippi’s Institutions of Higher Learning’s (which governs colleges and universities) anti-gun policy did not prevent the murder at Delta State University. List member Matt pointed out that although the IHL Board of Trustees has a gun-free policy governing schools and their faculty, employees, staff, students, visitors, events and facilities, apparently there is no such policy for staff of the executive office of the IHL itself. Evil hypocrites.

Meanwhile this week, an apparently unarmed Jackson State University student was robbed and shot on campus, in spite of those rules.
