In the same week that Liberty University decided against allowing students to carry guns on campus, it began allowing them to use a shooting range off campus.

Chancellor Jerry Falwell Jr. announced the initiative last month, and “it wasn’t two days before we had hundreds of students applying to take the safety course,” he said.
