Quoted: Regards to the colleges, that is a NO NO. The law was enacted after the Kent State situation. The Federal Law states that no one can carry on college/university campuses unless invited by the Dean.

The federal law has no say in this issue.
Federal law:
From 18 U.S.C 921 (25) and (26):
(25) The term "school zone" means -
(A) in, or on the grounds of, a public, parochial or private school; or
(B) within a distance of 1,000 feet from the grounds of a public, parochial or
private school.
(26) The term "school" means a school which provides elementary or secondary
education, as determined under State law.
Furthermore,
Glen Davis, Counsel to the Minority of the Arizona State Senate, writes:
...The second consideration with regard to federal preemption is whether there exists a federal statute which preempts state law. The Gun-Free School Zone Act of 1990 prohibits the possession of a firearm in a school zone of any public or private, primary or secondary school. 18 U.S.C 921. The Act makes no mention of firearm prohibition on a public college or university campus. ...the state statute addresses the question of gun control on a public university campus. Since the federal statute is silent on this issue, there can be no federal preemption.
