Thanks, Scott. Don't know why I couldn't see that.

That means that, if you carry on campus and get caught, you could be found guilty of a third degree felony and lose your right to carry for at least 10 years. Not very wise, in my opinion.

I have been told things like, "I would rather risk a misdemeanor than risk my life" in the discussion of off-limits areas. These are the CHL types that when something does go wrong it hurts all of us as a result.

All that does is demonstrate their lack of judgment. Rather than obey the law and choose not to patronize establishments that deny them the right to self defense, they, in their arrogance, choose to break the law AND ignore the desires of the business owner.

That's a very selfish and childish behavior.

I tried to find out what the punishment was for carrying illegally on campus, but I wasn't able to. I think it's a class A misdemeanor, but I'm not sure. In any case, if the student was really armed in the classroom, he was violating the law, and I question whether he even has a CHL. Every CHL holder knows that you can't carry inside a campus building. I disarmed every day when I parked my car and would never have violated the law like that. No matter what this other fellow does, you should never consider carrying inside a campus building until it becomes legal to do so.
