Drs. McMahon-Howard, Scherer, and McCafferty recently published an article, “Concealed Guns on College Campuses: Examining Support for Campus Carry Among Faculty, Staff, and Students,” in the Journal of School Violence (Impact Factor: 2.42).  Using a sample of approximately 2,700 faculty/administrators, staff, and students, this study found differences in support for allowing concealed guns on campus across the different subgroups on campus.  While 57% of students support campus carry, support for the law was lower among staff (39%) and faculty/administrators (19%).  Also, the results from the multivariate analyses indicated that the predictors of support for the law differed for faculty/administrators compared to staff and students.
