BOULDER, Colo. (AP) -- A student gun-rights group that won a lawsuit against a gun ban at the University of Colorado is miffed after the university barred students with concealed carry permits from bringing guns into dorms on its Boulder campus.

Mountain States Legal Foundation attorney James Manley tells the Boulder Daily Camera (http://goo.gl/IzVtU ) that he is reviewing the decision and may ask a judge to rule on the new policy.

The policy announced Thursday is in response to a March Colorado Supreme Court ruling that said CU can't ban permit holders from bringing guns to campus.

Chancellor Phillip DiStefano says the policy is a reasonable way to adhere to the court's ruling and protect students, faculty and staff.

    CU students with guns? That is scary, considering these morons are still jumping off roof tops into pools. They shouldnt even be allowed to have water balloons.

    Liberals do not respect the rule of law or the Constitution. They believe that the end justifies the means even though their policies continue to fail. Vote out all liberals and recall liberal judges.

    The judge should just lock up Chancellor Phillip DiStefano for violating the judgment for the conceal carry students. Chancellor Phillip DiStefano is obviously too stupid to understand English and no one would miss the dolt.
