California colleges reveal their military weapons stockade after CalMatters investigation

politics

California's public colleges keep military weapons arsenals, but according to a CalMatters investigation, many aren't publicly disclosing them as state law requires. While state law permits campus police to own military weapons for safety, CalMatters' review of all one hundred forty-eight public colleges and universities found that not every school reported its stockpile. The transparency gap raises questions about oversight of armed campus police and public access to information.
