Here is an email that was sent to me via a friend who attends BSU, He has tried to get special permission to carry from the police department.. (which the BSU hand book says can happen, from the director of security which is the police chief) But this should be reason enough.. Yet they assure him he doesn't need one and to remember the phone numbers to call in case of an emergency. Thoughts?
