The sheriff of a north-central Idaho county where a shooting rampage left four dead and three wounded last May wants more people to obtain concealed weapons permits and carry guns.

Latah County Sheriff Wayne Rausch also says the University of Idaho would safer if students had concealed weapons permits and carried guns.

But the university bans guns, and Rausch's idea also contradicts that of Moscow Mayor Nancy Chaney.

Late last month she asked for a legal opinion from the attorney general's office on whether the city has the authority to ban both concealed and exposed weapons in public areas.
