Employees - the group seemingly the target of today's rampage at the University of Alabama in Huntsville - are prohibited from having firearms on campus, EVEN if they have a permit to carry a concealed pistol from the state.  See the below link to read it for yourself.  You can get FIRED if you have a gun and work at the campus.  I would say it's better to be fired than fired upon!!!
