Beginning this year at the University of Mississippi, students can complete an eight-hour course to have a concealed weapons permit, which allows them to carry a firearm on any campus in the state. People wanting to take the course have to be over the age of 21 and must pass a background check to be able to receive the advanced permit.

Under the new law, people with the proper permit can carry firearms to locations like courtrooms, police stations and college campuses, which were once off-limits.

Chancellor Dan Jones told The Daily Mississippian last year that he believed Ole Miss did not need to modify its gun laws.
UPD Chief of Police Calvin Sellers said he is not in favor of allowing students to carry concealed weapons on campus.
