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.
The range on Candlers Mountain that the Liberty Police Department and other local police agencies have used for years was opened to students Thursday.
To qualify, a student must first take a two-day gun safety course with LUPD and sign up in advance to go to the range with supervision.
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.
The first group of 40 students finished the safety training two weekends ago, and had their first opportunity to use the range Thursday and Friday.
