I'm going to have to check out Mississippi law. I think it's okay to have it in your car;definatley not okay to carry though.

Correct me if I'm wrong (which I probably am) but I stripped out the extra stuff that doesn't apply to your question and this is how I read the law you posted...

"No license issued pursuant to this section shall authorize any person to carry a concealed weapon or firearm into any college or university facility unless the licensee is a registered student...and the weapon is a...device designed solely for defensive purposes and the weapon does not fire a dart or projectile"

Sounds to me like as long as your piece is designed solely for defensive purposes you are ok.

In Oklahoma, it is legal to have it in any vehicle in any area designated for use by vehicles Roads, Parking lots, parking garages. The one exception is any parking lot at a prison.

I believe that a bullet would be considered a "projectile" under the meaning of the statute. I'd mount a small gun safe in the car and park off campus as close as you can get to your class.

Thanks for the input. Anybody have experience with vehicle mounted safes that could mount under a seat or perhaps in the trunk?

No personal experience with car safes but I have collected a few links in my many hours of gun surfing.

In FL, the policies are left up to each school.

At my school, the campus police regulate parking, and as a part of the parking agreement you must follow security rules and others.

The security rules are no weapons or firearms allowed on campus property. Hence, no guns in your car in the parking lot or you will face expulsion for violating the campus security policy. I don't think it would be criminally punishable as it only violates campus security rules and not statue, but I wouldn't want to risk it. Secondly, even if you don't end up in jail, your educational career is over.

I leave my gun at the house on school days and pray that I don't need them. At least the campus cops are armed. All five of them.

QUOTE: "No license issued pursuant to this section shall authorize any person to carry a concealed weapon or firearm into any college or university facility unless the licensee is a registered student, employee, or faculty member of such college or university and the weapon is a stun gun or nonlethal electric weapon or device designed solely for defensive purposes and the weapon does not fire a dart or projectile"

This part of the statue (I think) means you can carry pepper spray or mace or a stun gun, but no tazers or firearms.
