University Police reminds the campus community that no unauthorized weapons of any kind, including guns, are allowed in campus-owned buildings or parking lots. These restrictions are consistent with University of Missouri System regulations as well as with recent gun legislation (Senate Bill 656), which leaves in place the current state law prohibiting concealed firearms from being carried into any higher education institution without the consent of its governing body.
