“the UNLV campus data shows that crime incidents are considerably less frequent on campus than in the surrounding neighborhoods.”
That’s not saying much. I’m very familiar with the area around UNLV and it’s not an area I feel safe. On one trip to the local gun shop I was told of a perp pulling a gun in a mugging in broad day light on a busy side walk in front of the university. I used to drive my daughter to UNLV regularly for class. The shooting range was on the way and it was disappointing we couldn’t take our guns because of the law, never mind the parking lot a hike. And it’s just plain stupid- someone who is going to shoot up a campus isn’t going to give a rip about the law in the first place.
