...the more questions I have. First, let me say this a great site. I've been reading it for a while and decided to register this morning. I haven't OC'ed yet but I've been a CC'er for a while. I keep reading great stories and learning about the law, but then my mind spirals out of control and I think of more questions. Forgive me if I missed any answers to the following:
1. Regarding the story of the fellow who had a rifle in a case on a Community Transit bus, I know that rifles have to be unloaded in a vehicle regardless of having a CPL. Does it have to be in a case, too?
2. Regarding schools, I know that a person with a CPL can have a firearm on him/her while picking up a student. Does this refer to CC only, or is OC legal in such an instance?
3. Is it federal and/or state law that prohibits firearms on college campuses, or just policies of the schools themselves? Does this refer to both OC and CC? Does it only refer to students, or to anyone?
4. Is there a specific definition of open carry? Is it okay to use my CC holster and just tuck in my shirt, so that just the upper half of my 1911 is showing?
Thanks,
Justin
