slight wander off target here. Last week in another thread I asked about the legality of carrying in the new joint use library on the Tidewater community college campus in virginia beach. I did so and had no issues but following through some of the links in this thread I came across this VAC..
http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+reg+8VAC95-10-20 code which applies to community colleges. for those that don't always follow links here is a portion of that entry.
A. Possession or carrying of any weapon by any person, except a police officer, is prohibited on college property in academic buildings, administrative office buildings, student centers, child care centers, dining facilities and places of like kind where people congregate, or while attending any sporting, entertainment, or educational events. Entry upon the aforementioned college property in violation of this prohibition is expressly forbidden.
B. Any individual in violation of this prohibition will be asked to remove the weapon immediately. Failure to comply may result in a student conduct referral, an employee disciplinary action, or arrest.
I think a library would fall under academic building but am not a lawyer so don't know for sure. What is the best way to get a real legal opinion on this?
