Thanks for the replies. They are truly helpful.
I understand restrictions for areas with MRI's etc where there is a danger from any metal object being present. My Dad was a welder and we couldn't answer doctor's questions good enough before he needed an MRI and they did several X-rays just to be sure. So, I understand what a dire situation it could be.
But like the rest of you,I don't understand the need to prohibit guns in ALL laboratories because it will unjustly exclude some students and faculty from carrying on certain days. Which is why I am surprised that this exclusion is common across the board for most campus carry plans - even the "better" ones.
And yes, the minor children present clauses don't fly either. Same thing with patient care facilities, but like mentioned above, since most hospitals are posted, I wasn't surprised to see it come up.
Of any, the disciplinary hearings are the only one that I could see in some situations. But, even then, if the situation was potentially volatile, campus police should be present too.

"Ideal" campus carry plan
In a perfect world, everyone could carry freely in all locations without infringement.
Since we aren't quite there, what would the "next best" option look like regarding campus carry? (Honest question).
Our institution is finally entering into this discussion. I've been watching and reading other plans as they are posted and want to be able to respond appropriately and accurately when the topics arise in our meetings. I'll leave the institution's name out to protect the innocent
.
I agree that there should be as few restrictions as possible.
While a few liberal colleges have proposed restrictions that most believe or hope the legislature will revisit, most others include these basics:
1. Prohibited in science laboratories.
2. Prohibited in areas where school children frequent or receive treatment.
3. Prohibited in patient care facilities.
4. Prohibited in locations where disciplinary hearings are conducted.
Are these reasonable? Why? Or why not?
The biggest 2 that I wonder about are the science laboratories and areas where minor children frequent. The child issue has been addressed in more than 1 thread. But what about the science labs? Obviously areas that have magnets, etc make sense for prohibiting carry, but what about a basic biology lab that does dissections or medical techniques. Should those "really" be excluded??
Thanks for your help.
