    In that regard, Indiana is far superior. One can lawfully carry on every single college campus in the state.

    Cedarville is a good conservative, Christian college. My cousin's son is an engineer at GM and graduated from there and a good friend's daughter goes there.

    Extending the policy to students could create some “unsafe scenarios” in which a student would need to properly story a gun in a residence hall and know how to clean a gun as well.

    I find it odd that knowing how to clean a gun is used as a reason students shouldn't be allowed to carry.

    True. That one, if found to be doing so, will be expelled or terminated, if student or faculty/staff respectively, but it is lawful to carry there. And if neither of the above, the person discovered to be lawfully armed will be declared "persona non grata" on the campus, such that if discovered there again, the person may be charged with criminal trespass. I'm not sure if that applies only if the person returns to campus with his/her weapon.

    Again, though, you are correct that there is no law that makes the carry of a handgun on a college campus in Indiana (absent other circumstances) a criminal act.

    Blessings,

    It would seem far too many "AD's" happen, while cleaning. just last week a LEO shot him self while cleaning his pistol.:dunno:

    Hands raised if you think most of these "gun cleaning" accidents are really gun cleaning and not horseplay....or suicide.





    Anyone?

    For cops, they are likely Glocks which need to be fired to be cleaned and as INGO teaches that it is not loaded, then why not pull the trigger after yelling Inshallah.

    For non-cops, likely a combination, of what percentage I am uncertain. Most involve drugs or booze.

    This last one in Lafayette, who knows, but I'll bet that he told the police, "eet ain't low-dead": Teen accidentally shot by high-powered rifle

    In this respect, Texas went one better last legislative session: no one who is legally carrying on a license on the grounds or in buildings of a public university or college can be expelled or otherwise be punished. There are certain places on campus that can be designated as forbidden to licensed carry, but they are limited in number. Classrooms and dorms cannot be generally declared off-limits to licensed carry.

    Alas, there seem to be no major 2A expansion of this magnitude coming out of the current Legislature, but that's for another thread.
