Hi all-- first post on these forums.
I'm just about to get married, and I decided to make a major move. I've bought my first gun (though I have shot several times before), taken an online safety course, and applied for my CCP last week.
My question is this: I'm currently a college student over here in Newport News at CNU. Our handbook policy states the following:
I've been reading up on my rights as a gun owner, and I've found that I CAN keep it in a secured location in my car. However, does my university's policy restrict me from doing this on their campus? Or is it arguable to say that the state of Virginia "authorizes" me to keep it in my vehicle as long as it's in a secured location (which implies that the campus does not make the authorization, but rather the state)?
Thanks in advance for the answers.

prohibited. This includes storage in vehicles on campus as well as in the residence hall. Firearms
include any gun, rifle, pistol, or handgun designed to fire bullets, BB's, pellets, or shot regardless
of the propellant used. Additionally, possession of ammunition that could be used with a
