Probably because no one has been discovered, much less arrested for carrying on school property with an out of state license. However, it is still a violation of the law if you do so.hirundo82 wrote: The relevant section for the Gun-Free School Zones Act is 18 USC § 922(q); I have never heard of it being used to prosecute someone carrying on an out-of-state license.

Re: Parking Lot Legal/Illegal?
This is correct. You must have a resident CHL from the state you are in to exempt you from the Federal Gun Free School Zone act in that state. For example, my Texas Resident CHL exempts me only from school grounds in Texas, not in anotehr state. Even if I had a Florida non-resident license, I would not be able to use it to exempt me in Florida.will381796 wrote:Actually I'm not too sure about that. With the Federal Gun Free Zone, I know it gives an exemption to CHL holders, but I also thought that you had to be a CHL holder from the state in which the school is located. So, if you're going to be walking around a Texas college (but not going into any buildings, of course), you would need a TX CHL. I don't know if an out-of-state CHL would have this same exemption.Aggie_engr wrote:Nope. You are not breaking any state laws in Texas anyways. That's not to say if discovered by university police you won't be expelled since I'm sure it is in every college handbook not to bring firearms onto campus, so bring it in your car at your own risk. I used to, but being only a year away from graduating I figured it just ain't worth the risk.At least until the campus carry bill is hopefully passed, then it's open season so to speak!
