My friend (who is waiting for his LTC to arrive), has recently agreed to to be a faculty in residence in a dorm at our private university that has chosen to opt out of campus carry come Aug 1st. The faculty apartment will be his permanent and primary residence for the next 3-5 years, with a private outside entrance.
So, some interesting questions. Does the campus restriction pre-empt his right to keep a firearm in his residence? However, once he receives his LTC, he would be able to keep his firearms locked in his vehicle. After Aug 1st, if the dorm is posted 30.06, but the door to his apartment is not posted, can he carry there? He is currently planning to have campus PD store his guns for him.

IMHO, and IANAL, I think if the dorm was on campus, and the school did not allow campus carry, he is out of luck.

Re: Interesting Residence Conundrum
In his residence and only his residence, as far as the building is concerned? The private entrance is interesting here.

Re: Interesting Residence Conundrum
The apartment is on the ground floor of the larger dorm building, but it has its own private outside entrance, and cannot be accessed from the rest of the dorm building.TangoX-ray wrote:In his residence and only his residence, as far as the building is concerned?

Re: Interesting Residence Conundrum
His door would have to be posted 30.06 separately for him to not be able to carry, because it cannot be accessed from the area that is 30.06 posted (the dorm).
Barring of course, the language for 30.06 being in his lease or provided to him otherwise.

Re: Interesting Residence Conundrum
Do the private campuses that op out have to post 30.06 ? And 30.06 does not have the requirement to post at every entrance so I don't believe they would have to post it to prevent him from carrying in the building under LTC. Dorms are different then other rental properties, but I wonder if it being his residence that he has control over might allow him to carry it in his room.TangoX-ray wrote:His door would have to be posted 30.06 separately for him to not be able to carry, because it cannot be accessed from the area that is 30.06 posted (the dorm).
