It’s in a not so great part of town so I have made a habit of always carrying on the drive up to the campus and then stowing it in the center console when I get to the parking lot. Unfortunately, I recently got a Ruger LCP as a warm weather carry option and literally forgot it was in my pocket.

I was all the way into the engineering/math building and about 5 steps from entering the classroom when I reached into the pocket my phone was normally and made the discovery .

I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I quickly handed my backpack to my buddy (also a chl holder), whispered to him what had happened and briskly walked back to the car. I swear, it was like every officer on campus was walking around in between my building and the parking lot.

So in short, check every building your about to enter for a 30-06/.gov/school and if you see one, always double check yourself.

Are you saying that the invisible force shield that keeps firearms from entering gun free zones malfunctioned and allowed you to go inside a gun free zone building with a firearm?

Not exactly true. Although he was no longer in legal danger, campus police officers are generally employee's of the school itself. Therefore, discovery by an officer could lead to significant disciplinary consequences as a student of the university - possibly including expulsion.
