It's notable how widespread the perception is that the "campus carry" concept refers to carrying in institutional buildings, not "on campus." Of course, it's difficult to imagine why somebody would go on a campus without entering any of the buildings, but still, the misunderstanding is everywhere. Licensed carriers have been carrying "on campus" for years.

I'm no doubt misreading this but you seem to me to be saying that campus carry does not allow carry in the buildings.
I think you missed his point.

but still, the misunderstanding is everywhere. Licensed carriers have been carrying "on campus" for years.

The change to the law allowing carry in the buildings is relatively recent and where the primary points of contention are.
Technically, no we haven't. The definition of campus is "(1) "Campus" means all land and buildings owned or leased by an institution of higher education or private or independent institution of higher education." I suppose you could argue that that definition only came in with the new law. On campus grounds would be accurate.
