A University of Missouri rule that prohibits people from possessing or discharging guns on campus conflicts with a law that says the state cannot prohibit its employees from having firearms in their cars while on state property, the Missouri Court of Appeals Western District ruled on Tuesday.
The three-judge panel issued its unanimous ruling in an appeal filed by the Missouri Attorney General's Office that sought to overturn Boone County Circuit Judge Jeff Harris's 2018 decision that the UM rule does not violate state law. The appeals court judges were Presiding Judge Thomas Chapman and Judges Mark Pfeiffer and W. Douglas Thomson.
