Call it in, leave your number, and go about your business.

They would probably think I'm one of the suspect. I guess that's why you stay on the phone like Longtooth described. I'm still a noob on this and there is a lot for me to learn. Thanks for the advice so far. :)

Parking lots and walkways don't count as 'premises' for that purpose. You just can't take it inside a school building/event.

What he said. 8)

Makes a lot of sense. :)

I work at a school during the day and goes to another school at night. Before I enter the building I make sure I disarm myself either by placing the firearm into a locked glove compartment or leaving the fanny pack hidden inside the vehicle. Now here is a situation. Let's say one day I come from lunch or going out to the parking lot in between classes, and I heard a loud distinct pop. Knowing thats it's a gun shot and approximately where it comes from, I will first call the campus police. But what then? Do I go about my business because I don't see immediate danger coming my way or do I go to investigate with the weapon? What if it's in visible range and I'm a witness? Do I assist then even though there is no immediate danger coming my way but possibly to someone else? And what if I assist at the parking lot? Will this get me into hot water? Lots of "what ifs" I know, but this has crossed my mind for quite sometime since I spend a lot of time on an educational facility.
