Designing concealed carry policies
for on-campus living communities is
a value-laden process . Specifically,
implementation is an emotional and
cultural experience for directors of
residence life . The policy-making
process incorporated lots of emotion
and stress because the decisions
directly influenced the staff
students, who often work in residence life positions and share experiences in our classes that
reflect awareness of their roles as implementers of policies. We acknowledged our role in
educating future student affairs professionals
and bracketed our previous work experiences
that might bias the data analyses.
a fourth way we addressed reliability and
validity was through saturation of interviews.
saturation was reached as the researchers
made comparisons of responses throughout
the data collection process. responses yielded
redundancy in themes, which confirmed for
the researchers that an adequate number of
participants had been reached (lincoln &
guba, 1985). participant quotes provide rich
evidence and direct insight into how public
university residence life programs are addressing campus-concealed carry policies in the
living spaces.
to determine if our results accurately
captured the essence of our interviews, we
employed member checking and multiple
investigator triangulation. each participant
received a copy of his or her interview transcript. When participants signed the informed
consent form for the study, we shared that
member checking was an option and would
be exercised if the participant agreed. each
participant reviewed his or her transcripts and
chose not to make amendments to interview
transcripts. second, patton (2015) asserted "triangulation, in whatever form, increases cred-
While we believe the research design to be
robust, at least three limitations must be considered when interpreting our findings. one,
we focused on the top administrators and did
not include assistant directors, graduate directors or resident assistants. the perspectives of
these individuals likely would add more richness to the concealed carry policy creation and
implementation since they have daily interactions with students and typically are the first
responders to situations that occur in living
spaces. second, we only interviewed five directors of residence life, which is a very small
members that were engaging in the
policy-making process .

ibility and quality by countering the concern
(or accusation) that a study's findings are
simply an artifact of a single method, a single
source, or a single investigator's blinders"
(p. 674). We used multiple investigator triangulation in this case. each researcher reviewed
the interview transcripts and then convened to
discuss observations within the data. together,
we created a code scheme that all researchers
agreed to abide. furthermore, every interview
transcript coding was reviewed by all members
of the research team and provided oversight to
the open and axial coding processes.
