Thanks for the clarification. The thread responses really help.

Greetings all. I'm new to the forums and I've had my CHL for a few months now. When I took the CHL course it was well established that having a handgun on campus is illegal. This, from what i understand, becomes vague as you enter the parking lot. I've scanned through threads and skimmed through Texas handgun laws and still feel unclear. I decided that it would be best to speak with the LEOs of the campus and see what their take is. When i asked the teller at the police office counter (not a LEO btw) what the policy is on having a firearm in your car she replied, "I think you should leave it in your trunk." I felt misinterpreted so i asked her again is it legaland what condition (loaded or unloaded) if any is preferred. She responded with, " If we don't see it then it's not there." I was flabbergasted. This does not held me in any way nor does it show local perception of gun knowledge or safety. Can any one shed some light?
