Raises an interesting question... I don't see anything in that paragraph about enforcing the school's policies, and while the officer in this event did not do anything beyond what it appears they are legally allowed to do, they clearly informed the school of the policy violation. Hmm.Yep. And they have full authority to enforce all laws of the state on campus and within 300 yards or something like that.. I'd have to find the cite. I've read it before after reading the NVCC websire:
"All NOVA police officers are fully trained, state certified by the Department of Criminal Justice Services of the Commonwealth of Virginia and sworn. Their jurisdiction covers all property owned and controlled by NOVA -- its streets, sidewalks and highways immediately adjacent to each campus. All sworn officers shall preserve the public peace, protect life and property, enforce and uphold the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. NOVA police officers patrol the campuses and are available to respond to calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They have authority to make arrests and carry firearms. They receive training at the Northern Virginia Criminal Academy in all aspects of law enforcement. "

Just wanted to say thanks guys for all the helpful advice.
I decided to go in yesterday to go in and feel it out - I had a pretty good feeling about things because the police did not even mention anything of this sort to me when I was stopped.
The short of the story is I met with the Judicial counselor (not sure if that's his exact title) and he said he needed to call me in to give me a verbal warning and that I was not in any sort of the trouble at the time, to "just leave it at home". He said that the cops were so impressed at how respectful and open I was with them and that they really appreciated that.
Bottom Line: I need to find some off campus parking!

Lucky SOB! haha
I find it interesting that a college that offers courses to help you get a Concealed handgun here in Virginia would reprimand/counsel/ or suspend somebody for obtaining a carry permit and then exercising their right.

We'll teach you about guns and how to handle them but you have to keep them away from us sheep.No ammunition or firearms are allowed on campus.
did you mean to say "not" legally obligated?Just think....had he said *nothing*, it would not have been an issue.
You are you legally obligated to disclose to a LEO you have a firearm. I would have just taken the ticket.

One must produce their CHP if asked by a LEO but one does not have to voluntarily inform the LEO if they're carrying or not.
We went round-and-round with this a few months ago. The current state of the law is a Catch-22. You are not required to display your CHP unless you are carrying a concealed handgun. No law requires you to divulge the fact that you are carrying a concealed handgun.Just to clarify, when the officer runs you in his computer it will show that you have a CHP. If he asks for it you must produce it but as nova said you do not have to inform him that you are in fact carrying, only that you have your CHP on you.
