Kentucky allows open carry. Obama had an outdoor speech here in Lexington a while back, at the University of Kentucky–a public university–and the area was roped off and you had to pass through a police-monitored line to get in. I didn’t go, so I don’t know if they were actually searching people, but I rather doubt they’d have gone to all that trouble just to wave a guy with a hunting rifle on through.
In fact, now that I think of it, firearms are 100% banned on UK campus, despite Kentucky’s open carry laws. So I’m skeptical that Utah State doesn’t have the same power.
