We investigated differences in support for gun-carrying initiatives on campus in a sample from two Pennsylvania universities. Binary logistic and ordinary least squares regression was used to examine patterns and predictors for three outcomes: support for concealed gun carry, support for open gun carry, and impacts on feelings of safety should concealed gun carry be allowed on campus. We found that faculty and staff were less supportive of all gun-carrying initiatives and more likely to report decreased feelings of safety compared to students. Consistent with previous research, being a student, identifying as politically conservative, and owning a gun were strong, stable predictors of support for gun-carrying initiatives across all models. While most of the sample did not support gun-carrying initiatives, there was far less support for student gun-carrying initiatives compared to faculty and staff gun-carrying initiatives across all respondents. Limitations and implications for policy and future research are discussed
