I don't know about Arkansas law, so I can't help there. However, Texas only prohibits carrying in school buildings, because of the way "premises" is defined in the statute.Tregs wrote:In searching for answers to carrying on the premises of private universities, this thread is the closest I found to an answer.
If i read it correctly, CHL'ers are not permitted to carry on any campus, public or private. Does this apply to Texas only?
My daughter will be attending a private university in Arkansas in the fall. I called their security office and asked about a parent carrying a concealed handgun on campus with Texas CHL (reciprocity state). They didn't know the answer and said they had never been asked before. I pulled up their student handbook and found this under the "prohibited items" section:
Possession and/or use of any firearm/weapon or replica of a firearm/weapon on campus.
Firearms/weapons include guns, paintball guns, pellet/BB guns, airsoft guns, archery equipment,
extraordinary knives, swords, slingshots, launching devices, and any other object that could cause
bodily harm. Any firearm/weapon brought to campus must be stored in the Public Safety Office
I realize that the student handbook applies to students, not necessarily me, but this is the only info I could find in any school produced literature that mentioned handguns. I have been on campus many times (unarmed) and have found no 30.06 signs. I don't necessarily feel the NEED to carry on campus, but I would like to be protected on the long late night drive to Arkansas and do not like the idea of having to leave the gun in my car once I arrive. My car has been broken into on several occassions so I'm always nervous when I'm forced to do this.
