I'm trying to find an answer to the question of whether a college can restrict carry, open or concealed, at one of their off-campus, satellite locations?
The college restricts weapons, which include firearms, in their student code of conduct. Wording here:
The satellite location at the Quantico Corporate Center is off campus, but the wording of 'premises' puts this into a grey area for me. If they owned the property and building, like a normal campus, I don't believe this would be a grey area for me, but since the building is owned by another, and the space is likely leased, what is the situation here?
This probably falls into a private property category and as such they can make the rules for their property, but after not finding an answer during my searches I'm curious now.
I'd appreciate any thoughts on this. Thanks.
