On Wednesday’s episode of Philosophy in Action Radio, I interviewed gun rights litigator Jim Manley about “Concealed Carry on Campus.” The podcast of that episode is now available for streaming or downloading.

Many people assume that college campuses are – and should be – gun free zones. Jim Manley explains why concealed carry permit holders should be permitted to carry on campus.

Jim Manley is a Staff Attorney at Mountain States Legal Foundation. He received his J.D. from the University of Colorado Law School, where he served as an Associate Editor of the Law Review and President of the Federalist Society. Jim was the lead attorney on the many Mountain States Legal Foundation cases concerning firearms, including Students for Concealed Carry on Campus v. Regents of the University of Colorado, which was a state court challenge to the University’s ban on licensed concealed carry on campus.
