Why do the policy and law refer to both firearms and pistols?
Under the MCPPA, permits are required only for pistols, not other firearms. The MCPPA and Board Policy 5.21 use both terms, because different rules apply to each. “Firearms” include pistols, as well as other guns such as rifles and shotguns. Under Board policy, “firearms” does not include “stun guns;” campuses may regulate stun guns in their weapons policies.
