That is for K-12. College is not covered by that particular law. The federal law that the state law is derived from was part of the 'Brady Bill' and was found unConstitutional at the federal level. |

I think GMU has a similar policy. Been meaning to look it up.

well then...you could try sending an email to the VCDL as they will probably be able to answer that better than anyone else... |

I just did that. Mr. Van Cleave e-mailed me back. It's a grey area of the law, but they are going to try to get that changed. I'll just keep on doing what I have been.... |

i emailed VCDL and got the same response  here it is for everyone else to see: For students it is a grey area as to whether they could expel you for carrying with a permit. It is NOT a crime (except possibly at VCU). As a non-student there really isn't anything that a public college or university can do if you have a permit. They might say you are trespassing and ask you to leave. VCDL is having a bill put in shortly that would fix this problem for students and hopefully clarify it for non-students, too. Keep an eye on our VA-ALERTS for more info on this and what you can do to help in the coming weeks. Philip |

Those are campus rules governing the conduct of the students and staff and do not have the effect of law. However, if they ask you to leave the campus, you had best do so immediately.
If I were a student, I would still carry but at the same time would be extremely careful about my concealment of my handgun. |

Maybe to a knowledgeable police officer...the non-gun-owning person "up here" isn't going to know 5.11's from Jordache. |

I believe ODU(where I attend) has the same policy. the issue at that point becomes that while they have no "legal" authority to keep you from carrying, they can, and probably will, expel you for violating school policy if you're caught. So it's up to you if you want to risk it, I suppose. A clarification of the preemption law would certainly be nice for this situation.

An elected representative's opinion, while perhaps interesting, and maybe even somewhat useful if you're on trial and challenging the interpretation of the law as your defense, is really not much use for anything else. If you want clarification of a law, the person to talk to is the AG, who actually has the statuatory authority to interpret the law and determine what is a prosecutable offense under the law, OR you ask your representative to attempt to change the law to make it more clear.
