Suit Challenging University Of Michigan Gun Policy Dismissed

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) - A lawsuit challenging the University of Michigan's campus anti-gun policy has been dismissed.

The Ann Arbor News reports (http://bit.ly/1lguUmp ) Tuesday that state Court of Claims Judge Cynthia Stephens on Nov. 13 granted the school's motion to dismiss the suit.

Joshua Wade sued the university in June, saying the ban was unconstitutional and violated state law after he was not allowed a waiver to carry a gun on the Ann Arbor campus.

The university only allows military and law enforcement to carry weapons on campus.

Wade's lawyer, Steven Dulan, said he plans to appeal.

Wade also openly carried a gun earlier this year into Pioneer High School in Ann Arbor during a choir concert. The school board later passed a policy banning guns from its schools.
