Certified law enforcement personnel, however, may carry their department issued handgun on campus if
required by their responsibilities as a law enforcement officer.
The possession of non-lethal self-defense instruments (for example, OC gas or pepper spray) is permitted;
however, the reckless use of such devices may be considered a violation of this policy. Additionally, any
plausible written or verbal statement, threat, or evidence that a community member possesses a
weapon, explosive or other prohibited item may be responded to as an actual threat, whether or not a
weapon or explosive exists.
