Ever since the Virginia Tech massacre, I've been thinking a lot about my safety on campus. I'm constantly running the 'what would I do if...' scenarios, and in my mind bringing a knife to a gun fight never turns out well.
So, I've been reading up and I want some feedback on my interpretation of the statutes.
So, if I read this right, I could carry an unloaded handgun in a locked container, and 171b doesn't apply to schools. If I'm right, I think this may be a way to not be completely disarmed when I go to class.
Please let me know if you see anything I missed or if you know of another statute I'm not aware of.
