BOULDER, Colo.—While one Colorado university considers whether it should continue to allow concealed weapons, another has banned students from using Nerf guns.
Colorado State University currently allows people with concealed weapons permits to carry guns many places on campus. The University of Colorado, like most schools, doesn’t.
CU says its policy also bans the use of fake guns and that that includes the Nerf guns used to play the popular college tag game known as Humans vs. Zombies. In the game, humans can freeze zombies by hitting them with a Nerf gun or balled-up socks.
CU spokesman Bronson Hilliard says the school isn’t trying to be a killjoy. He says the concern is for others not playing the game who might see a student with a Nerf gun and mistake it for a real gun.
