UD has chronicled… …the amazing story of Utah’s universities and the fierce fight out there to keep guns in students’ hands on campuses throughout the state. Here’s one Utah university student who shows you how to keep your heat close, on campus and off: Jennifer Lynne Burghardt, 28, a Utah State University graduate student, put her bag on the X-ray conveyer [at Colorado Springs Airport] — thinking the unloaded .357 Smith & Wesson was in the suitcase she’d left in a closet, out of harm’s way. That’s the sort of commitment to gun carrying you see all over Utah. UD did a little sleuthing, and thinks she may have discovered a salient fact about Ms. Burghardt. She’s not at all sure it’s the same Jennifer Burghardt, but she found a biologist by that name who spends her time tracking cougars in the Tetons. Utah State seems to be involved in the project, which is why UD thinks it might be the same person. If you spend your days intentionally pursuing cougars I'm sure you get a little anxious. But cougars do not fly on American airplanes. |
