I'm not a moderator, but I believe this comes perilously close to a rule 9 violation. "Blatant, global, or rampant law enforcement bashing is prohibited. Discussions of specific identifiable events presented factually are fine." I think calling a police officer a bozo is uncalled for, regardless of what opinion you may have formed about his actions.

Q: What is UNT’s policy in regard to weapons on campus?

A: State law prohibits the possession of firearms in any building on the UNT campus. This prohibition includes those persons normally licensed to carry a concealed weapon. Violations of state law or university policies will result in immediate action; including, arrest and prosecution, referral to the Center for Student Rights and Responsibilities and/or disciplinary action for faculty and staff. Possession of explosives is prohibited anywhere on campus.
What Brian found and what you found creates a tension between the law and school policy. The question is, how does UNT define "campus" for purposes of their policy. The law clearly states that it is illegal to carry on the premises, which is precisely defined as "buildings" and not grounds or parking lots. Yet the school policy uses the term "campus" which is not defined but could mean within the boundaries of all lands owned by UNT. Before I carried a weapon, even in my car, I would get clarification of those terms, because your future as a student depends on your compliance with school policies.
