Identifier	Thesis 2105
Author	Zambruski, Gavin M., 1983-
Title	Concealed carry of handguns on college campuses by faculty, staff, and students
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2010
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	The incidence of mass public shootings has become an issue of great concern in the United States, and has become a topic of focused research in recent years. Among this research, there has been a notable lack of focus regarding the opinions of students, faculty, and staff regarding the ability of these individuals to carry concealed handguns for their protection against such mass shooting events. This thesis uses ANOVA and correlation techniques to examine the opinions of students, faculty, and staff regarding current policies, perceived safety while on campus, and opinions regarding concealed handguns on college campuses. Students (n = 113), faculty members (n = 5), and staff (n = 3) were given a questionnaire eliciting their opinions on these topics from three schools located in the Northeast, South, and Northwestern regions of the United States. Results from this study indicate that there are regional differences in terms of perceptions of campus handgun policies. Those who reside, and attend colleges and universities, in the south were found to be more supportive of policy changes allowing the concealed carry of handguns on college campuses. Additionally, a variety of significant differences between regional groups and demographic groups were found and are reported. It is concluded that perceived safety and productivity may be improved if university affiliated members were allowed to choose whether or not their university policy prohibited or allowed for the carrying of concealed handguns on campus.
