A bill likely to win final approval in the Iowa legislature would let most students carry stun guns on the university campuses in Ames, Cedar Falls and Iowa City as well as on community college property.

Representative Mary Mascher, a Democrat from Iowa City, says a college campus — especially a football stadium — is not a place you’d want stun guns.

The proposal won approval in the Senate in mid-March. The House voted to add language that would prohibit anyone with a felony conviction from carrying a stun gun on a public college or university campus in Iowa. The Senate is expected to approve that caveat this coming week and send the bill to the governor for her review.
