Thank you, Charles. It pays to ask! The fact that the university church is a school building caught me by surprise. Are you basing it on it being a building where the activity, no matter what type of activity, is sponsored by the educational institution by virtue of being on the university property? Is the definition so broad as to apply to all buildings on a campus, including, for example, maintenance or storage buildings?

Let me set up some situations over which I have a question or two. You wish to attend a church service on a university campus. The church is a stand-alone building, not 30.06 posted, roads, parking lot, and sidewalk lead right up to the church door. Can you carry in that church? It would appear to me that you can. Second situation, totally different location and a little trickier. A church is not 30.06 posted, but has a fully acredited primary K-8 school run by the church, connected to the church and separated only by a doorway. You can access the church through the main entrance from the parking lot without ever going through the school. I am open on this one. The third situation, is a church, not 30.06 posted, and has classrooms for various Sunday School classes, some in session during the services. This would be similar to most churches in this country. I would think it permissible to carry in this last situation. I would appreciate your opinions especially from those familiar with law.
