The carrying of a concealed handgun on university and college campuses (Campus Carry) went into effect on 8/1/15. The law is not very strong as universities and colleges can have “Gun Free Zones.” They have to justify them to the legislator, however the legislator has no power to change it until they meet in session and pass a law. They can use 30.06 to prohibit the carrying in designated areas. There is nothing stopping them from using 30.06 on every building. They can also regulate the storage of firearms in dormitories and other campus housing. NO OPEN CARRY on campus. Carrying on a public junior college does not apply until August 1, 2017.
