FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) — Officials at Colorado State University have recommended enacting a near-ban on concealed weapons but students seem inclined to continue allowing people to carry guns on campus.

Student government leaders are considering asking CSU president Tony Frank to continue the current policy. A vote on the resolution could come as early as Wednesday.

A spokesman for Frank said he will make a decision on whether to enact a ban after hearing from students.

CSU currently uses the default state law, which allows concealed weapons for people with permits. Weapons are banned from CSU residence halls and university-run apartments.

Campus public safety officials and Frank's cabinet have recommended a ban with some exceptions, such as for security officials guarding high-profile visitors.
