A.POLICY
It is the policy of Zane State College that no student, employee, or visitor shall have in her/his possession while on the Zane State/OUZ campus any firearms unless required to do so by being enrolled in or instructor of an official Zane State College course in which instruction on the use of that firearm is being delivered.
B.POLICY GUIDELINES
Students: When enrolled in courses which include firearms instruction, it may be necessary to transport firearms (unloaded) to and from class. Firearms will not be carried or worn into a classroom or lab unless directed to do so by an instructor.
Instructors: Firearms or other weapons are not to be carried or worn into a classroom or lab except for an approved firearms/weapons training class.
Instructors and students are to transport firearms to and from class in which weapons instruction is being delivered in closed containers. A closed gym bag is an example for carrying a handgun while a typical rifle or shotgun case may be used for long guns. Carrying a handgun in a holster is not satisfactory. Carrying a rifle or shotgun, broken down, exposed to view is not satisfactory.
For guests utilizing the firing range and/or on-duty law enforcement, probation and parole officers who appear in our classrooms as guest speakers are exempt from these restrictions. As long as these individuals are on campus appropriately within the areas of their jurisdiction.
Any infraction of the Zane State College weapons policy will be handled via the appropriate local/state, and/or federal laws, and/or College disciplinary procedures.
