A buddy and I were having a discussion when the subject of open carry on college campuses in Va came up.

I was wondering if it's prohibited for non students to carry while on the grounds, saying if I we're to go visit a friend who goes to that college would I be able to wear it while I am walking towards his dorm room, or would I have to leave it in the vehicle.

Public college = carry:celebrate
Private college = will get escorted off the premises

If you are not a student and the school has no control over you then you are good to go. If you were a student/faculty/staff then you will be penalized by the school.

RULE 1- Carry a recorder and leave it on AT ALL TIMES.

RULE 2-Stand your ground. The police may ask you to leave, which you will politely decline since you are on public property.

RULE 3- Enjoy your safe experience on campus:lol:


I'm not a lawyer and this shall be taken as my opinion;)

As we have discussed and rehashed this topic many times here, I wrote up a summary of most of the pertinent legal issues here

I used VCU as an example, but the legal cites are applicable to all public colleges.

With the exception to VCU property and GMU buildings and sporting/public events, if it's a public univ, they can't do squat.
