I didn't say that you would or did do anything, I stated that I would rather lie than disclose a weapon to a university police officer; it's easy to misunderstand a post, so you should probably never take that tone with another member.Lonest4r wrote:While I respect your right to your own opinion, your response demonstrates that you did not read my post very carefully. I was not going to lie to the officer in any way. Also, I attend a private university not a public school. Oh, and you can get arrested without breaking the law (there is specifically one forum member who will attest to that). Some officers don't even know what the laws governing CHLs are.Embalmo wrote:I agree-I would rather take my chances and lie to a campus police officer that disclose that there is a gun LEGALLY concealed in my car. I am convinced that any student would be expelled, and arrested for legally having a gun concealed in their car. Disclosing is just not worth the risk anywhere near a public school or university.Lonest4r wrote:Here is my rationale: I go to a medium size private university and carry on my drive to school. The parking lot is not posted but just to be safe I park in the non-university owned parking whenever possible. Sometimes the parking is full so I put the gun in a lock box under my seat just before going onto their parking lot. The police on campus seem a little ignorant of the laws and the fact that I could carry on the property as long as I'm not on the "grounds" (building or part of a building) so long as no school activities were taking place outside on the grass. I guess I figured they might just ask for my student ID to verify I was a student there and not run me in the database. I was trying to avoid a legal hassle that would possibly ruin my education, even if I was in the right and could beat the charges.
