There is a catch 22 however, do you know when every school sponsored event happens on that campus, if you get caught on the grounds (ie including the parking lot) of the college while a school sponsored event is going on it will not be a good day for you.

I've been looking for a law to show to the local PD to prove that I am allowed to store my firearm in my vehicle while in the campus parking lot.
Could someone post the actual law so that I can take it to them to ask if I'm allowed?

Can anyone think of any good ways that I can go about this. I called once before and they told me I couldn't even have pepper spray in my car.
