With Nebraska\u2019s new permitless conceal carry law, UNMC police and Public Safety remind the med center that the campus policy on deadly weapons, including guns, remains unchanged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNothing has changed for us,\u201d said Deputy Chief Jerry Baggett with UNMC\u2019s Department of Public Safety. \u201cThe med center prohibits possession of deadly weapons on university property.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under campus policy<\/a>, \u201cno persons, on or entering university premises, will be allowed to retain in their possession firearms, guns, electroshock weapons, weapons, ammunition explosives or incendiary devices. Any item classifiable as a potentially dangerous weapon, and for which a purpose of possession cannot be established, is prohibited. Members of the law enforcement agencies of municipal, county, state and federal governments on official visits on campus are exempt from this provision.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reminder comes as LB 77, Nebraska\u2019s permitless concealed carry law, went into effect Sept. 2. The new law allows Nebraskans 21 and older who can legally own a gun to conceal carry without paying $100 for a permit or taking a gun safety class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public Safety reminds individuals that signage on university building entrances denote that weapons are not allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this year, the department, which includes law enforcement officers and security officers, announced implementation of more security cameras in campus parking lots and garages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Said Deputy Chief Baggett: \u201cPublic Safety works round-the-clock to keep our campuses safe, but it also takes a group effort and the eyes and ears of employees, students, visitors and patients.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
