BOULDER, Colo. - Boulder's library commission has approved a new rule that will allow people with concealed weapons permits to bring their guns.

The Boulder Public Library Commission gave unanimous approval on Wednesday to the rule change after reviewing a state Supreme Court ruling telling state universities they could not ban concealed-weapon permit holders from bringing guns on campus. The court ruled earlier this year that state lawmakers only provided a few exceptions to the concealed weapons law, and neither of those organizations are among them.

According to the Boulder Daily Camera, the new policy still has to be approved by city officials.
