My private university has yet to post all buildings with 30.06, but they have notified all students, faculty, and staff of the policy.
My building is not yet posted and I could legally CC, but I won't, because I don't want to be fired if discovered. A student could be disciplined or suspended, but not arrested.

Re: To Campus Carry or Not To Carry - Thoughts?
Not entirely true. Prior to Campus Carry, college premises (buildings) were off limits by statute, grounds and parking lots were not. Now a private university can post their grounds, their parking lots, whatever they want. All they have to allow is licensees to keep it in their vehicles in their parking lots.TexasTornado wrote:The only thing campus carry changes is buildings. The grounds, public sidewalks, parking lots etc. are no more off limits now than they ever were. Personally unless there's signage to make it a legal issue, I wouldn't sweat policy issues.oohrah wrote:I have to agree with nightmare69. My private university has only posted a few 30.06 so far, but they sent a broadcast email yesterday. It reminded everybody that they were prohibiting firearms in building, grounds, premises, etc. and signs would soon be going up. It ended with the posting of the 30.06 language in both english and spanish. They did reiterate the allowance of an LTC to keep their firearm locked in their vehicle on campus.
I don't know if this constitutes effective notice for students and faculty, but it certainly does not for the general public. So now, I won't carry, but until signs are up, any old joe can walk into my building legally CCing until the signs go up.
And yes, it is a Class A. It also means that not only are the buildings are off limits as before, but the grounds as well.
The good side for me, is that there is no longer the "participation in school sponsored activity" sanction. I do a lot of field trips, and now I can carry off campus, or keep it in my vehicle while transporting students, which I couldn't before.
I've also been reconsidering what schools I will be applying to for my PhD program. SMU & Baylor were my top choices, but all of a sudden A&M and UNT are looking a lot more appealing.
No student should ever have to choose between their constitutionally granted rights & their education.
