For many years the debate of campus carry in America was left out of the debate over gun control and a citizen's right to carry a concealed firearm. The first state to legalize campus carry through out the state was in 2004 when Utah legalized campus carry throughout the state. This lead to a debate among both students and staff at various universities, both in Utah and throughout the country, whether this would make students safer or cause safety concerns. Prior to this, across the nation, it was to be left up to the institution whether campus carry would be legal. Then, three years later, at Virginia Tech, a student brought a weapon he had purchased and began shooting on April 16, 2007, leaving 33 dead. After this event, many states began questioning whether allowing students and faculty to carry would make the campus safer. Since then, 9 states have legalized campus carry across the state, and 21 have banned campus carry.

i am considering adding a section to better help explain the laws over Kansas' campus carry laws. this section would include a reference to a previous law that defined "adequate security measures" and how this law would be used a a precedent for the definition of adequate security measures.

In the state of Kansas, campus carry is allowed if the institution does not provide "adequate security measures." Kansas statute 75-7c20 (m) (1), states that "'Adequate security measures' means the use of electronic equipment and personnel at public entrances to detect and restrict the carrying of any weapons into the state or municipal building..." This includes metal detecting wands and metal detectors and other such devices.
