1. Good news on the gun front, for a change. Thanks. n/t

[NewMoonTherian]

3. Good news for whom?

Banning carry doesn't protect or benefit anyone.

[pnwmom]

5. I disagree. With the rate of binge drinking on college campuses

I think it's beyond stupid to allow guns there.

[gejohnston]

8. the sterotype is

those under 21, no state I know of allow anyone under 21 have a concealed carry permit. If there is binge underage drinking, what is campus security and administration doing about it? Frat houses are off campus.

[pnwmom]

18. IF there is binge under-age drinking? You've got to be kidding.

There is binge drinking among all ages of students in dorms as well as frats, and most campuses aren't doing much about it. Adding guns to the mix is a recipe for disaster, even if the licensed carrier is 21.

[gejohnston]

23. in my experience

young and stupid tends to leave once you have been away from mom and dad for a couple of years. To say someone who goes back to school suddenly becomes less responsible than someone who doesn't sounds absurd and not a very well thought out argument. The rules does not change possession in the dorms, which are probably prohibited. They were in Wyoming 40 years ago, so I doubt they are allowed in the U of C system today.

[pnwmom]

97. Alcohol use is higher among college students than it is among people of the same age

who are working. This is the reverse of the situation in high school, when college bound students are LESS likely to drink than non-college bound students.

And it might sound absurd to you, but it doesn't to anyone who has been involved as an administrator in higher education.

[gejohnston]

112. that is true with 18 year olds living in dorms

who are banned from getting a CCW in most states. They are likely staying in the dorms which, in all likelihood, don't allow keeping any weapon of any type in dorms. That was certainly the case in the Wyoming system when I lived in college dorms.
What the issue is about are what are sometimes called "nontraditional students" someone who does something else (military, find themselves by backpacking the Canadian wilderness, or whatever) or middle aged people going back to school for whatever reason. Last college class I took I was one of a couple of military retirees and there were several folks in their 30s and 40s. None of us turned into drunken party animals.
That is the part that sounds absurd to me.

[pnwmom]

124. Why do any non-traditional students need to carry guns on campus? The vast majority

of students get along perfectly well without them.

But unfortunately, you're wrong about dorms. In some states (not California) laws do allow students to have guns in dorms. I wouldn't be happy if my student's 21 year old roommate had one, would you?

[gejohnston]

130. My first guess would be one of the exceptions in California law

are those who have a restraining order on some asshole ex. I doubt few if any actually would. A lot of things are legal but not customary. In Wyoming and most states it is perfectly legal open carry and always was. It is simply not done, and wasn't customary even before it became a state. Now that Wyoming concealed carry went from kind of like NYC, but more fair, to Vermont light, I don't know anyone who actually does carry concealed. If escape from Florida and go home, I most likely wouldn't either. Why bother if you are either in Mayberry or the woods? Florida allows it as long as you have a fishing pole in your hand. Nobody does, other than some guy on Youtube trying to get a cop in trouble.
I don't have a CCW, and I don't carry for protection. That said, if I got a job working at a planned parenthood or as an escort for a women's health clinic, you better believe I would.
Depends on the roommate. If it is another Wyoming hick that brought his target or hunting stuff, they would have something in common. If you are talking about some asshole, not so much. Have to remember, I grew up in a culture that views guns differently than you might have.

[apocalypsehow]

132. I'm curious, was Wyoming restrictive on guns until recently? Or just on concealed carry? n/t.

[PavePusher]

131. Please cite those states/campuses and the rules that apply.

We'll wait.

[GreenStormCloud]

93. It is a rare 21+ age student who lives in a dorm.

At that point they are almost always living in off-campus apartments and are subject to the same laws as any other citizen.

21/22 is the typical age of graduation. Above that age and they are usually graduate students who have shown themselves responsible by studying during their college years and keeping a GPA that was good enough for grad school.

If they are still in college at age 22 it is usually because they got a late start due to doing something between high school and college, or they are in college part-time. For student such as those, college hasn't been an automatic privilege but is something that they are having to work hard for. Such students are very unlikely candidates to waste the opportunity of a lifetime by being a drunk.

I do not support CCW for under age 21 persons.

[NewMoonTherian]

12. That's a common argument.

But it doesn't hold up. There are states and campuses that allow concealed carry without incident. It is illegal to be in physical control of a firearm while under the influence of alcohol.

If you assert that banning carry on college campuses is beneficial, you should be able to provide support for that assertion.

[apocalypsehow]

26. That's not how it works, Moon. It is incumbent upon those who wish to change the established law

and policies regarding no concealed carry on California college campuses to provide support for the assertion that the law should be changed, and concealed carry allowed.

California's ban on concealed carry on campus works, and should not be changed. Indeed, the Federal government should mandate California's concealed carry policy - allowed only under VERY limited circumstances - nationwide, by cutting off all Federal funds to any state that allows people to carry concealed weapons on their public campuses.

[ManiacJoe]

49. What is the problem your proposed solution is trying to solve?

[apocalypsehow]

64. I wasn't the one with the "problem": CA law FORBIDS concealed carry on campus save in

very, very limited circumstance.

It's "Moon" up there wanting to change the law: take it up with him.

[NewMoonTherian]

54. Is that how it works?

I would think the burden of support lies with those who want to restrict individual freedom.

In any case, the colleges where carry is currently allowed are my support. They demonstrate that carry bans do not work, in that they do not prevent any injury or death that would otherwise take place. Carry bans have failed to demonstrate any measurable benefit, and should be done away with, everywhere.

[apocalypsehow]

65. That's how it works alrighty, in the real world. In pro-NRA land, I don't know or care how it "works

Neither does the rest of the civilized world.

[NewMoonTherian]

125. The civilized world has no problem...

destroying personal freedoms without purpose? That hardly sounds civilized.

If that isn't what you mean, then all I'm asking is that you show me the purpose of banning carry. It should be easy to prove its efficacy. You want me to believe it works, but you don't provide any evidence to that effect. Campuses that allow carry are no more dangerous than those that ban it.

[apocalypsehow]

127. Restricting where firearms can be carried is hardly "destroying personal freedoms," but let's

put that aside. I'm not interested in "proving" anything to you. It works in California, and it is going to continue working. In fact, the laws are likely to get more restrictive in CA in the years ahead.

The onus is on you if you want to change California's gun laws regarding campus carry, as you are the one asserting a change should be made. When you say "Campuses that allow carry are no more dangerous than those that ban it" I say (1) that's an assertion posted without evidence, and (2) even were that the case, that does not make the case the California should change its laws to allow students and faculty to tote weaponry around and about campus.

[rDigital]

79. Actually it doesn't work because it's legal, you're just subject to academic sanctions

Did you notice that the website you are using as a reference still lists open carry in CA as a legal activity.

It's out of date. 626.9 (l)provides the exemption.

(l)This section does not apply to a duly appointed peace officer as defined in Chapter 4.5 (commencing with Section 830) of Title 3 of Part 2, a full-time paid peace officer of another state or the federal government who is carrying out official duties while in California, any person summoned by any of these officers to assist in making arrests or preserving the peace while he or she is actually engaged in assisting the officer, a member of the military forces of this state or of the United States who is engaged in the performance of his or her duties, a person holding a valid license to carry the firearm pursuant to Article 3 (commencing with Section 12050) of Chapter 1 of Title 2 of Part 4, or an armored vehicle guard, engaged in the performance of his or her duties, as defined in subdivision (e) of Section 7521 of the Business and Professions Code.


A person with a valid CCW permit (code 12050) is exempt from the entire section code of 626.9

12027 doesn't matter it just supplies more definitions of things that 12025 does not affect, section (j) lists people with a CCW permit as things that Code 12025 doesn't affect.

Code 12025 is a ban on carrying of concealed firearms. People with a CCW Permit are not banned from carrying a pistol.

Here is that section:
12025. (a) A person is guilty of carrying a concealed firearm when he or she does any of the following:

(1) Carries concealed within any vehicle which is under his or her control or direction any pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person.

(2) Carries concealed upon his or her person any pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person.

(3) Causes to be carried concealed within any vehicle in which he or she is an occupant any pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person.


Section 12025 does not apply to, or affect, any of the following:


Section (l) from 626.9 provides the exemption in clear languange. The whole of 626.9 does NOT APPLY to CCW permit holders.

You're grasping at straws, foaming at the mouth and stomping your feet. Get over it.

http://wiki.calgunsfoundation.org/Gun_Free_School_Zones

A PC 12050/26150 CCW allows permit holders to legally carry their listed handguns on both K-12 and college/university properties and campuses. That does not insulate a licensed student or employee of a school from administrative or job disciplinary action if the school prohibits carry for those groups.

[apocalypsehow]

128. Actually it does work because carrying concealed weapons @ CA campuses is illegal. Educate yourself:

Save under very limited circumstances, you cannot strut around a California college campus with your pistol perched in your pants, period. Indeed, you can be subjected to criminal sanctions for doing so, not just civil administrative remedies.

Here is what an actual law firm made up of actual lawyers - not internet free-lancers - has to say about carrying a concealed weapon on a California college campus even if you have a California concealed weapon permit:

"Exceptions to the California Gun-Free School Zone Act

(*snip*)

specific persons who are authorized to carry concealed weapons such as those engaged in the business of selling, manufacturing, etc. firearms and those who are guards, carriers, or messengers for banks or other financial institutions.14 (NOTE: Having a California "carry a concealed weapon CCW permit under Penal Code 12050 PC does not exempt you from prosecution if you carry a concealed weapon in a school zone),15

Further:

"15 Penal Code 626.9(c)(4) above specifically excludes persons under Penal Code 12027 subdivisions b,d,e, and h from prosecution under this law. Penal Code 12027(j) deals with persons who hold CCW permits. Because subdivision "j" isn't specifically listed as an exception under Penal Code 626.9, those who carry concealed weapons in a school zone…even with a valid permit…still violate the Gun-Free School Zone Act.

And here's what can happen if you decide to take Shade Tree legal advice being peddled on the internet and get caught strutting about campus with your favorite heater tucked into your waistband:

"possessing a firearm on school grounds or on a university or college campus or their associated buildings is always a felony.20 (NOTE: Although colleges and universities are beyond the scope of the definition of a "school zone", possessing a gun on these campuses still subjects you to prosecution under California's Gun-Free School Zone Act.)

And even if you wave around your "concealed weapon permit" (assuming you can get one: California is a "may issue" state, and very few are granted in urban/populated areas), it'll likely do you little good, as the law is not on your side.

Further:

" However, if you possess a firearm within a school zone under a different set of circumstances from the three just listed, prosecutors could charge you with violating California's Gun-Free School Zone Act as either a misdemeanor or a felony"

It's not on your side under any number of circumstances.

See also:

"&quot h) Notwithstanding Section 12026, any person who brings or possesses a loaded firearm upon the grounds of a campus of, or buildings owned or operated for student housing, teaching, research, or administration by, a public or private university or college, that are contiguous or are clearly marked university property, unless it is with the written permission of the university or college president, his or her designee, or equivalent university or college authority, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for two, three, or four years. Notwithstanding subdivision (k), a university or college shall post a prominent notice at primary entrances on noncontiguous property stating that firearms are prohibited on that property pursuant to this subdivision. (i) Notwithstanding Section 12026, any person who brings or possesses a firearm upon the grounds of a campus of, or buildings owned or operated for student housing, teaching, research, or administration by, a public or private university or college, that are contiguous or are clearly marked university property, unless it is with the written permission of the university or college president, his or her designee, or equivalent university or college authority, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for one, two, or three years. Notwithstanding subdivision (k), a university or college shall post a prominent notice at primary entrances on noncontiguous property stating that firearms are prohibited on that property pursuant to this subdivision.&quot "

So much for all that jazz about how "even if you get caught they can't put you in jail, just fire or expel you from campus": uh, yes they can.

So my advice is that the next time you find yourself itching to test out your "RKBA" rights, you choose a different venue than a California college/university campus, especially if you're only doing so on the advice of some anonymous Shade Tree lawyer on the internet: if caught, you could get into A LOT of trouble, and wind up in jail. And I don't think the "but the DU Gungeon said it was okay" defense will fly once you get before a jury.

[upaloopa]

126. That is bull shit. You can't take an incident or incidents and say that it proves anything.

Gunners use that "prove it" canard every time and it is a just a bull shit tactic. Then you come up with some gunner propaganda and all you've done is try to score some points in an argument.

More and more you are sounding foolish and no one wants to here it anymore. It's redundant in the extreme.

[apocalypsehow]

129. Yep - but they think every time they throw up some huge block of statutory mumbo-jumbo

while high-lighting out-of-context passages they've "won" some kind of debate. It's silly in the extreme.

[gejohnston]

4. he highlighted the wrong part

all you need is written permission from the school administration, making California university systems not that much different than Wyoming's, which requires written permission from campus security.

[pnwmom]

7. Uh-huh. And the administrators are very unlikely to give it,

because then they would be liable for any damage done by the gun.

[gejohnston]

11. if you look at paragraph l

as I understand it, those with concealed carry permits don't require permission under the law, but there may be a school rule which has nothing to do with the California Penal Code.

[pnwmom]

15. The part you referenced wasn't about civilians with concealed carry permits.

They're clearly not allowed to carry on campus, without the written permission of administrators.

[gejohnston]

20. possibly

although it is best to ask a lawyer to actually read it instead of a "brief overview." It started over one poster having such permission from the campus that employs him. AH, for some reason, accused (with no basis) him of not only being dishonest about being a college professor but also carrying his pistol legally to his office. In other words, he was trying to fill iverglass' and Hoyt's shoes by being super troll. He is still pissed off because he was proven wrong.

[apocalypsehow]

24. "Proven wrong"? Hardly: the poster in question has consitently REFUSED to provide substantiation of

his dubious claims to both (1) being a professor and (2) being given a written "exception" by the administration of the school he supposedly works for ( ) to strut around campus with his pistol perched in his pants.

He has provided not a scrap of evidence of substantiation of any of those claims. So what we have in that instance is just another anonymous guy on the internet claiming to be something, sans corroborating evidence or proof of any kind.

Now, if you wish to believe that hash about being a "pro gun professor" whose administration has given him written permission to play Free-lance Campus Cop in his spare time, be my guest. As he is a fellow "pro gun progressive" who routinely expresses pro "RKBA" views with which you agree, you have a vested interest in taking him at his anonymous internet-posted word about being a professor on his third professional job after racking up two retirements (and claiming to be rich, to boot), because it makes your cause look like one of the persons advocating for it has a storied academic pedigree.

But at the end of the day, with no corroboration of any kind, his claims remain just like I stated above: another anonymous guy on the internet claiming to be something. Period.


Edit: typo & clarity.

[gejohnston]

27. which you tried to call him out

based on no evidence, so the burden of proof is on you. You spent half the night sounding like Orly Tatz for the sole purpose of personally attacking someone whom you disagree with on one issue.
The rest of your rant isn't even worth my effort.

[apocalypsehow]

28. No: wrong again. The "burden of proof" is on the one *making the claim*, NOT on the one who asks

for proof or substantiation of the claim being made. There was no "personal attack": he was asked to provide corroboration of his claims, and he declined to do so.

"The rest of your rant isn't even worth my effort"

Translation: "I can't refute what you wrote, so I'll just label it a 'rant' and call it a day."

[gejohnston]

29. you questioned it as a personal attack

that was your intent, the burden of proof was on you.
I can't refute something that is incoherent and pointless.

[apocalypsehow]

32. "questioned it as a personal attack" - Good grief, but that's some funny stuff there.

Regardless, the "burden of proof" is on the one making the claim, not the one asking for substantiation to corroborate the claim.

See here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1172&pid=68658

"that was your intent"

So now you're a mind-reader huh? Across the internet, you can read an anonymous person's mind? Impressive!



Absurd.

[gejohnston]

37. you were attacking him as a person by questioning something he said about himself

that puts the burden of proof on you, just like the burden of proof was on the birthers, since they are making the claim. While you are not a birther, you were using the same propaganda technique, attack the person by questioning their legitimacy or honesty about an unrelated issue and put it on them to prove their innocence. If that is the best you can do, then you might want to question your own assumptions. Ultimately, it is a issue of mind over matter. I don't mind how much you rant and make fool out of yourself because you no longer matter.

[apocalypsehow]

39. No, I was not. He claims to be a "professor" authorized to tote guns around campus, and he was asked

for proof thereof. The burden is entirely on the one making the claims, and that was him. He has refused to provide such proof, so his claims are invalid. End of story.

But thanks for kicking my OP back up to the top.

[apocalypsehow]

13. Exactly right: I doubt you could find a handful - IF THAT - of CA adminstrators willing to sign such

letters for all sorts of reasons, including liability. Also, most California university administrators are progressives and liberals, and don't buy into the NRA/GOP agenda.

[apocalypsehow]

10. Yes, this was in reply to an attempt to pretend that it was a wide open gun-totin' fest on

CA campuses. This feeble attempt, not backed up by anything other than Shade Tree legal advice, was not only wrong: it could someone who took it in trouble.

Thanks for your reply!

[elleng]

2. Good for 2 things,

the substantive gun matter, and the 'actuall lawyers' matter.

[gejohnston]

6. read the rest of it

(l)This section does not apply to a duly appointed peace officer as defined in Chapter 4.5 (commencing with Section 830) of Title 3 of Part 2, a full-time paid peace officer of another state or the federal government who is carrying out official duties while in California, any person summoned by any of these officers to assist in making arrests or preserving the peace while he or she is actually engaged in assisting the officer, a member of the military forces of this state or of the United States who is engaged in the performance of his or her duties, a person holding a valid license to carry the firearm pursuant to Article 3 (commencing with Section 12050) of Chapter 1 of Title 2 of Part 4, or an armored vehicle guard, engaged in the performance of his or her duties, as defined in subdivision (e) of Section 7521 of the Business and Professions Code.

http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/cacode/PEN/3/1/15/1/s626.9

[pnwmom]

14. The referenced exception doesn't apply to ordinary civilians with concealed carry licenses.

[gejohnston]

17. as far as I can tell it applies to private citizens (cops, other than military police) are civilians

who have permission from the administration or has had to file a restraining order against someone.

[pnwmom]

19. And the administration is extremely unlikely to give such permission

except in very limited circumstances. And very few people with CC permits have had to file restraining orders.

[gejohnston]

21. depends on the administration of that school

he over generalizes not only the state of California, which I doubt he actually spent very much time in, but the administrations there. Since I don't live in California, don't have a CCW valid there, I really don't give a shit either way. That would be like saying the University of Wyoming's chief of security will give permission just based on some over generalization (since I don't know the campus security there, have no reason to ask, I have no idea what they would decide.) I have known of people to get a CC after filing a restraining order.

[rDigital]

22. The permission isn't required to be legal, just to avoid being fired/expelled.

Note: So carry on School property is legal if you have a California Issued Permit/License to Carry. The
School can keep Students, Faculty and others who work on campus from carrying and can expel them or fire
them for carrying firearms but they are not breaking a law just a rule of the School.

http://www.handgunlaw.us/states/california.pdf

You legally carry, and keep your job too, if you get a little permission slip from the admins, just like our good friend ProgressiveProfessor does. It's legal anyway, but it's better to keep your job in the process.

[apocalypsehow]

25. It's NOT "legal anyway": you need to read the OP before you post easily-disproved assertions

that have already been thoroughly debunked.

[rDigital]

30. You're wrong. The exemption is plainly written in coded 626.9

Did you notice that the website you are using as a reference still lists open carry in CA as a legal activity.

It's out of date. 626.9 (l)provides the exemption.

You're grasping at straws, foaming at the mouth and stomping your feet. Get over it.

[apocalypsehow]

33. I'm right, as the OP shows, all that irrelevant jazz you posted below notwithstanding. Try reading

the OP slower this time. Or better. Or both.

[apocalypsehow]

9. I knew all the "California lets you carry guns all you want!!!" on campus silliness wasn't really

true, nor as lenient as what it was being made out to be in various posts and replies.

So I decided to see what some actual lawyers actually in California might have to say on the subject. I found quite a few that made it clear toting guns around on campus was a big no-no, in reality. But this firm had the most compact, comprehensive page on the matter, and my OP was already running long.

[pnwmom]

16. Thanks for the posting. n/t

34. It's not legal, as shown in the OP. Please try again. n/t.

[apocalypsehow]

35. Also, it's pretty rich running around DU accusing me of "stalking" then you post repeatedly in my OP

There is an offer on the table:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1240&pid=140061

Either take me up on it, or quit whining about being "stalked".

[apocalypsehow]

119. It's not legal to strut around a CA campus with a pistol perched in your pants:

Save under very limited circumstances, you cannot strut around a California college campus with your pistol perched in your pants, period. Indeed, you can be subjected to criminal sanctions for doing so, not just civil administrative remedies.

Here is what an actual law firm made up of actual lawyers - not internet free-lancers - has to say about carrying a concealed weapon on a California college campus even if you have a California concealed weapon permit:

"Exceptions to the California Gun-Free School Zone Act

(*snip*)

specific persons who are authorized to carry concealed weapons such as those engaged in the business of selling, manufacturing, etc. firearms and those who are guards, carriers, or messengers for banks or other financial institutions.14 (NOTE: Having a California "carry a concealed weapon CCW permit under Penal Code 12050 PC does not exempt you from prosecution if you carry a concealed weapon in a school zone),15

Further:

"15 Penal Code 626.9(c)(4) above specifically excludes persons under Penal Code 12027 subdivisions b,d,e, and h from prosecution under this law. Penal Code 12027(j) deals with persons who hold CCW permits. Because subdivision "j" isn't specifically listed as an exception under Penal Code 626.9, those who carry concealed weapons in a school zone…even with a valid permit…still violate the Gun-Free School Zone Act.

And here's what can happen if you decide to take Shade Tree legal advice being peddled on the internet and get caught strutting about campus with your favorite heater tucked into your waistband:

"possessing a firearm on school grounds or on a university or college campus or their associated buildings is always a felony.20 (NOTE: Although colleges and universities are beyond the scope of the definition of a "school zone", possessing a gun on these campuses still subjects you to prosecution under California's Gun-Free School Zone Act.)

And even if you wave around your "concealed weapon permit" (assuming you can get one: California is a "may issue" state, and very few are granted in urban/populated areas), it'll likely do you little good, as the law is not on your side.

Further:

" However, if you possess a firearm within a school zone under a different set of circumstances from the three just listed, prosecutors could charge you with violating California's Gun-Free School Zone Act as either a misdemeanor or a felony"

It's not on your side under any number of circumstances.

See also:

"&quot h) Notwithstanding Section 12026, any person who brings or possesses a loaded firearm upon the grounds of a campus of, or buildings owned or operated for student housing, teaching, research, or administration by, a public or private university or college, that are contiguous or are clearly marked university property, unless it is with the written permission of the university or college president, his or her designee, or equivalent university or college authority, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for two, three, or four years. Notwithstanding subdivision (k), a university or college shall post a prominent notice at primary entrances on noncontiguous property stating that firearms are prohibited on that property pursuant to this subdivision. (i) Notwithstanding Section 12026, any person who brings or possesses a firearm upon the grounds of a campus of, or buildings owned or operated for student housing, teaching, research, or administration by, a public or private university or college, that are contiguous or are clearly marked university property, unless it is with the written permission of the university or college president, his or her designee, or equivalent university or college authority, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for one, two, or three years. Notwithstanding subdivision (k), a university or college shall post a prominent notice at primary entrances on noncontiguous property stating that firearms are prohibited on that property pursuant to this subdivision.&quot "

So much for all that jazz about how "even if you get caught they can't put you in jail, just fire or expel you from campus": uh, yes they can.

So my advice is that the next time you find yourself itching to test out your "RKBA" rights, you choose a different venue than a California college/university campus, especially if you're only doing so on the advice of some anonymous Shade Tree lawyer on the internet: if caught, you could get into A LOT of trouble, and wind up in jail. And I don't think the "but the DU Gungeon said it was okay" defense will fly once you get before a jury.

36. More info

http://wiki.calgunsfoundation.org/Gun_Free_School_Zones
A PC 12050/26150 CCW allows permit holders to legally carry their listed handguns on both K-12 and college/university properties and campuses. That does not insulate a licensed student or employee of a school from administrative or job disciplinary action if the school prohibits carry for those groups.

Just keep in mind that California is a "may-issue" state, but if you have a CCW, you're legal to carry.

[apocalypsehow]

38. No, you are not "legal to carry" on campus, as the OP shows. Period. n/t.

[rDigital]

40. Some hack internet site for a law firm? They don't even provide answers, just assumptions because

they want to avoid the issue, just like you.

My posts show what's legal. The link you posted from UCLA last night even points out their written exemption process.

http://map.ais.ucla.edu/portal/site/UCLA/menuitem.789d0eb6c76e7ef0d66b02ddf848344a/?vgnextoid=5eda12f78892a110VgnVCM400000e4d76180RCRD

What weapons are not permitted on campus?
Most weapons are not permitted on campus. For example:

Any knife including a belt buckle knife, dirk dagger, cane sword, pen knife, lipstick knife, switchblade, butterfly knife or any knife that has a blade longer than 2 1/2 inches, opens automatically or has more than one sharp edge
Any gun without written permission and in accordance with California Penal Code

They defer to the penal code which allows College Carry with a CCW. Then they state you can carry with written permission, to of course avoid putting your job or scholastic achievements in jeopardy. You're still legal, regardless, but it would be far better to get the permission to avoid the school problems.

[apocalypsehow]

41. A respected law firm made up of former prosecutor's and police officers is hardly a "hack site," and

they provided concise, legally valid answers as opposed to your Shade Tree lawyering. That you don't like it is your problem, not the rest of DU's.

[rDigital]

43. Prove that I'm wrong with the laws and codes, not assumptions. You can't do it, I've tried.

It's legal, beagle.

[apocalypsehow]

45. It's already been proven, in the OP. n/t.

44. Cool, not interested. I like making you lose public arguments. It's worth letting you stalk and

harass me.

[apocalypsehow]

46. So, you make the claim you are being "stalked" but then show up in MY OP posting to me.

I guess that puts paid to your silly claims to being "stalked": of course, anyone paying the slightest bit of attention already knew that when you say "stalked" you mean "disagreeing with my opinion." Laughable stuff.

[apocalypsehow]

47. So, now that the claim of being "stalked" has been shown to be bogus, I expect to see no more

of it here on DU from you, period. The next time you do, and every time here-on-out, I'm going to compile the links to your accusation, my offer, and your subsequent refusal to act on that offer to Admins. Making such a baseless claim repeatedly violates TOS.

[rDigital]

51. The OP of this post is based on an issue you got absolutely thrashed on last night

First you said there was no college carry where employees could carry. You were wrong.
Then, you kept moving the goal posts and was sure that there was no college carry in California, then your were yet again thrashed and now you have posted this ill researched and false OP hoping to glaze over the fact that you are willing to fight about issues of which you have no grasp of whatsoever.

[apocalypsehow]

52. All nonsense, but regardless: the next time you accuse me of stalking you, it's going to the Admins.

114. Actual useful info, as opposed to stuff that will get you arrested if you try it on a CA campus:

Save under very limited circumstances, you cannot strut around a California college campus with your pistol perched in your pants, period. Indeed, you can be subjected to criminal sanctions for doing so, not just civil administrative remedies.

Here is what an actual law firm made up of actual lawyers - not internet free-lancers - has to say about carrying a concealed weapon on a California college campus even if you have a California concealed weapon permit:

"Exceptions to the California Gun-Free School Zone Act

(*snip*)

specific persons who are authorized to carry concealed weapons such as those engaged in the business of selling, manufacturing, etc. firearms and those who are guards, carriers, or messengers for banks or other financial institutions.14 (NOTE: Having a California "carry a concealed weapon CCW permit under Penal Code 12050 PC does not exempt you from prosecution if you carry a concealed weapon in a school zone),15

Further:

"15 Penal Code 626.9(c)(4) above specifically excludes persons under Penal Code 12027 subdivisions b,d,e, and h from prosecution under this law. Penal Code 12027(j) deals with persons who hold CCW permits. Because subdivision "j" isn't specifically listed as an exception under Penal Code 626.9, those who carry concealed weapons in a school zone…even with a valid permit…still violate the Gun-Free School Zone Act.

And here's what can happen if you decide to take Shade Tree legal advice being peddled on the internet and get caught strutting about campus with your favorite heater tucked into your waistband:

"possessing a firearm on school grounds or on a university or college campus or their associated buildings is always a felony.20 (NOTE: Although colleges and universities are beyond the scope of the definition of a "school zone", possessing a gun on these campuses still subjects you to prosecution under California's Gun-Free School Zone Act.)

[apocalypsehow]

50. That is blatantly FALSE: it shows *no* *such* *thing*. It is an opinion piece, not a factual

recitation of California's current concealed carry on campus laws - it actually confirms MY OP, as it is calling for the law to be changed to ALLOW concealed carry.

Your subject line is blatantly dishonest.

133. Constantly repeating yourself does not make you any more right or less wrong....

It simply makes you sound obsessive.

[rDigital]

58. More good info on this subject.

It's not the campus police you need to worry about. If the Administration has a "no weapons" policy in their employees' manual or student rules, then that is where the Administration will take action. You won't get arrested, because your CCW is valid. However, you could be fired or expelled because you violated the Administrations rules. I believe this was mentioned in one of our FAQs, which are locked because they are informational postings, not discussion threads. Here is the one related to CCW on campus:

Let's hope nobody out there is taking this Shade Tree legal advice seriously: as shown in the OP, it can get you put in prison.

Did you notice that the website you are using as a reference still lists open carry in CA as a legal activity.

It's out of date. 626.9 (l)provides the exemption.

(l)This section does not apply to a duly appointed peace officer as defined in Chapter 4.5 (commencing with Section 830) of Title 3 of Part 2, a full-time paid peace officer of another state or the federal government who is carrying out official duties while in California, any person summoned by any of these officers to assist in making arrests or preserving the peace while he or she is actually engaged in assisting the officer, a member of the military forces of this state or of the United States who is engaged in the performance of his or her duties, a person holding a valid license to carry the firearm pursuant to Article 3 (commencing with Section 12050) of Chapter 1 of Title 2 of Part 4, or an armored vehicle guard, engaged in the performance of his or her duties, as defined in subdivision (e) of Section 7521 of the Business and Professions Code.

Code 12025 is a ban on carrying of concealed firearms. People with a CCW Permit are not banned from carrying a pistol.

Here is that section:
12025. (a) A person is guilty of carrying a concealed firearm when he or she does any of the following:

(1) Carries concealed within any vehicle which is under his or her control or direction any pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person.

(3) Causes to be carried concealed within any vehicle in which he or she is an occupant any pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person.

Section (l) from 626.9 provides the exemption in clear languange. The whole of 626.9 does NOT APPLY to CCW permit holders.

You're grasping at straws, foaming at the mouth and stomping your feet. Get over it.

A PC 12050/26150 CCW allows permit holders to legally carry their listed handguns on both K-12 and college/university properties and campuses. That does not insulate a licensed student or employee of a school from administrative or job disciplinary action if the school prohibits carry for those groups.

[apocalypsehow]

77. Nope: quite right, all your spamming notwithstanding. The reason your spamming is that the facts are

not on your side, and that has you upset. Funny stuff.

[apocalypsehow]

116. More good info showing that if you carry a gun on a CA campus, you'll be arrested:

Save under very limited circumstances, you cannot strut around a California college campus with your pistol perched in your pants, period. Indeed, you can be subjected to criminal sanctions for doing so, not just civil administrative remedies.

Here is what an actual law firm made up of actual lawyers - not internet free-lancers - has to say about carrying a concealed weapon on a California college campus even if you have a California concealed weapon permit:

"Exceptions to the California Gun-Free School Zone Act

(*snip*)

specific persons who are authorized to carry concealed weapons such as those engaged in the business of selling, manufacturing, etc. firearms and those who are guards, carriers, or messengers for banks or other financial institutions.14 (NOTE: Having a California "carry a concealed weapon CCW permit under Penal Code 12050 PC does not exempt you from prosecution if you carry a concealed weapon in a school zone),15

Further:

"15 Penal Code 626.9(c)(4) above specifically excludes persons under Penal Code 12027 subdivisions b,d,e, and h from prosecution under this law. Penal Code 12027(j) deals with persons who hold CCW permits. Because subdivision "j" isn't specifically listed as an exception under Penal Code 626.9, those who carry concealed weapons in a school zone…even with a valid permit…still violate the Gun-Free School Zone Act.

And here's what can happen if you decide to take Shade Tree legal advice being peddled on the internet and get caught strutting about campus with your favorite heater tucked into your waistband:

"possessing a firearm on school grounds or on a university or college campus or their associated buildings is always a felony.20 (NOTE: Although colleges and universities are beyond the scope of the definition of a "school zone", possessing a gun on these campuses still subjects you to prosecution under California's Gun-Free School Zone Act.)

And even if you wave around your "concealed weapon permit" (assuming you can get one: California is a "may issue" state, and very few are granted in urban/populated areas), it'll likely do you little good, as the law is not on your side.

Further:

" However, if you possess a firearm within a school zone under a different set of circumstances from the three just listed, prosecutors could charge you with violating California's Gun-Free School Zone Act as either a misdemeanor or a felony"

It's not on your side under any number of circumstances.

See also:

"&quot h) Notwithstanding Section 12026, any person who brings or possesses a loaded firearm upon the grounds of a campus of, or buildings owned or operated for student housing, teaching, research, or administration by, a public or private university or college, that are contiguous or are clearly marked university property, unless it is with the written permission of the university or college president, his or her designee, or equivalent university or college authority, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for two, three, or four years. Notwithstanding subdivision (k), a university or college shall post a prominent notice at primary entrances on noncontiguous property stating that firearms are prohibited on that property pursuant to this subdivision. (i) Notwithstanding Section 12026, any person who brings or possesses a firearm upon the grounds of a campus of, or buildings owned or operated for student housing, teaching, research, or administration by, a public or private university or college, that are contiguous or are clearly marked university property, unless it is with the written permission of the university or college president, his or her designee, or equivalent university or college authority, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for one, two, or three years. Notwithstanding subdivision (k), a university or college shall post a prominent notice at primary entrances on noncontiguous property stating that firearms are prohibited on that property pursuant to this subdivision.&quot "

So much for all that jazz about how "even if you get caught they can't put you in jail, just fire or expel you from campus": uh, yes they can.

So my advice is that the next time you find yourself itching to test out your "RKBA" rights, you choose a different venue than a California college/university campus, especially if you're only doing so on the advice of some anonymous Shade Tree lawyer on the internet: if caught, you could get into A LOT of trouble, and wind up in jail. And I don't think the "but the DU Gungeon said it was okay" defense will fly once you get before a jury.

59. More anecdotal evidence just to sweeten the pot when this is all over.

I am on USC campus at least once a week- volunteer teaching and other academic related reasons. Reading posts about most California campuses having amibiguous CCW policies, I had to get clarification from USC.

I was told by Capt. Steve Alegre, Captain - USC Police Community Relations that: USC school policy for CCW could not supercede California CCW law. (He verbally gave me permission to quote him on this) He went on to say that with his 30 years combined experience with Santa Ana PD and LAPD, that he was confident about the validity of his answer.

62. It already is "over": I've posted and quoted the LAW; all you've put up is an anonymous post

by some gun fanatic on a pro-NRA board. You have yet to refute the OP, though that was going to be impossible in any event, as the facts are irrefutable.

[rDigital]

76. You have no understanding of the subject at hand. The law has to ban it. The law ALLOWs it.

Did you notice that the website you are using as a reference still lists open carry in CA as a legal activity.

It's out of date. 626.9 (l)provides the exemption.

(l)This section does not apply to a duly appointed peace officer as defined in Chapter 4.5 (commencing with Section 830) of Title 3 of Part 2, a full-time paid peace officer of another state or the federal government who is carrying out official duties while in California, any person summoned by any of these officers to assist in making arrests or preserving the peace while he or she is actually engaged in assisting the officer, a member of the military forces of this state or of the United States who is engaged in the performance of his or her duties, a person holding a valid license to carry the firearm pursuant to Article 3 (commencing with Section 12050) of Chapter 1 of Title 2 of Part 4, or an armored vehicle guard, engaged in the performance of his or her duties, as defined in subdivision (e) of Section 7521 of the Business and Professions Code.


A person with a valid CCW permit (code 12050) is exempt from the entire section code of 626.9

12027 doesn't matter it just supplies more definitions of things that 12025 does not affect, section (j) lists people with a CCW permit as things that Code 12025 doesn't affect.

Code 12025 is a ban on carrying of concealed firearms. People with a CCW Permit are not banned from carrying a pistol.

Here is that section:
12025. (a) A person is guilty of carrying a concealed firearm when he or she does any of the following:

(1) Carries concealed within any vehicle which is under his or her control or direction any pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person.

(2) Carries concealed upon his or her person any pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person.

(3) Causes to be carried concealed within any vehicle in which he or she is an occupant any pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person.


Section 12025 does not apply to, or affect, any of the following:


Section (l) from 626.9 provides the exemption in clear languange. The whole of 626.9 does NOT APPLY to CCW permit holders.

You're grasping at straws, foaming at the mouth and stomping your feet. Get over it.

82. The OP is spot-on: sorry that it ruined your bogus post about CA campus concealed carry.

[apocalypsehow]

86. Completely wrong:

Penal Code 12027(j) deals with persons who hold CCW permits. Because subdivision "j" isn't specifically listed as an exception under Penal Code 626.9, those who carry concealed weapons in a school zone…even with a valid permit…still violate the Gun-Free School Zone Act.

You need to re-read the OP.

Here, allow me to debunk you:
http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/cacode/PEN/3/4/2/1/2/s12027

CAL. PEN. CODE § 12027 : California Code - Section 12027

Section 12025 does not apply to, or affect, any of the following:

A peace officer who is listed in Section 830.1 or 830.2, subdivision (a) of Section 830.33, or subdivision (c) of Section 830.5 who retired prior to January 1, 1981, shall have his or her privilege to carry a concealed firearm denied or revoked by having the agency from which the officer retired stamp on the officer's identification certificate "No CCW privilege."

Penal Code 12027(j) deals with persons who hold CCW permits. Because subdivision "j" isn't specifically listed as an exception under Penal Code 626.9, those who carry concealed weapons in a school zone…even with a valid permit…still violate the Gun-Free School Zone Act.

101. You know for a fact that isn't in the actual law.

CAL. PEN. CODE § 626.9 : California Code - Section 626.9, does not contain that text anywhere.

[apocalypsehow]

102. I know for a fact that this is what is relevant to CA concealed carry on campus:

"15 Penal Code 626.9(c)(4) above specifically excludes persons under Penal Code 12027 subdivisions b,d,e, and h from prosecution under this law. Penal Code 12027(j) deals with persons who hold CCW permits.

[rDigital]

106. Extrapolate that paragraph, because I have and it doesn't say what you think it does. Go look up

the sections of the law that it addresses. You'll find that the interpretation you are clinging so dearly to is without precedent or legal basis.

Go read 12027. It's just a list of people that can't be charged.

Go read 626.9 It list's CCW permit holders as people that are exempt to the GFSZA.

It's a loss for you on all sides. Reading comprehension and research. Don't every take the lazy path in a legal argument.

Because subdivision "j" isn't specifically listed as an exception under Penal Code 626.9, those who carry concealed weapons in a school zone…even with a valid permit…still violate the Gun-Free School Zone Act."

[rDigital]

111. "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it smart."

[apocalypsehow]

113. And carrying a gun onto a CA campus will get you arrested, if you get caught:

Save under very limited circumstances, you cannot strut around a California college campus with your pistol perched in your pants, period. Indeed, you can be subjected to criminal sanctions for doing so, not just civil administrative remedies.

Here is what an actual law firm made up of actual lawyers - not internet free-lancers - has to say about carrying a concealed weapon on a California college campus even if you have a California concealed weapon permit:

"Exceptions to the California Gun-Free School Zone Act

(*snip*)

specific persons who are authorized to carry concealed weapons such as those engaged in the business of selling, manufacturing, etc. firearms and those who are guards, carriers, or messengers for banks or other financial institutions.14 (NOTE: Having a California "carry a concealed weapon CCW permit under Penal Code 12050 PC does not exempt you from prosecution if you carry a concealed weapon in a school zone),15

Further:

"15 Penal Code 626.9(c)(4) above specifically excludes persons under Penal Code 12027 subdivisions b,d,e, and h from prosecution under this law. Penal Code 12027(j) deals with persons who hold CCW permits. Because subdivision "j" isn't specifically listed as an exception under Penal Code 626.9, those who carry concealed weapons in a school zone…even with a valid permit…still violate the Gun-Free School Zone Act.

And here's what can happen if you decide to take Shade Tree legal advice being peddled on the internet and get caught strutting about campus with your favorite heater tucked into your waistband:

"possessing a firearm on school grounds or on a university or college campus or their associated buildings is always a felony.20 (NOTE: Although colleges and universities are beyond the scope of the definition of a "school zone", possessing a gun on these campuses still subjects you to prosecution under California's Gun-Free School Zone Act.)

And even if you wave around your "concealed weapon permit" (assuming you can get one: California is a "may issue" state, and very few are granted in urban/populated areas), it'll likely do you little good, as the law is not on your side.

Further:

" However, if you possess a firearm within a school zone under a different set of circumstances from the three just listed, prosecutors could charge you with violating California's Gun-Free School Zone Act as either a misdemeanor or a felony"

It's not on your side under any number of circumstances.

See also:

"&quot h) Notwithstanding Section 12026, any person who brings or possesses a loaded firearm upon the grounds of a campus of, or buildings owned or operated for student housing, teaching, research, or administration by, a public or private university or college, that are contiguous or are clearly marked university property, unless it is with the written permission of the university or college president, his or her designee, or equivalent university or college authority, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for two, three, or four years. Notwithstanding subdivision (k), a university or college shall post a prominent notice at primary entrances on noncontiguous property stating that firearms are prohibited on that property pursuant to this subdivision. (i) Notwithstanding Section 12026, any person who brings or possesses a firearm upon the grounds of a campus of, or buildings owned or operated for student housing, teaching, research, or administration by, a public or private university or college, that are contiguous or are clearly marked university property, unless it is with the written permission of the university or college president, his or her designee, or equivalent university or college authority, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for one, two, or three years. Notwithstanding subdivision (k), a university or college shall post a prominent notice at primary entrances on noncontiguous property stating that firearms are prohibited on that property pursuant to this subdivision.&quot "

So much for all that jazz about how "even if you get caught they can't put you in jail, just fire or expel you from campus": uh, yes they can.

So my advice is that the next time you find yourself itching to test out your "RKBA" rights, you choose a different venue than a California college/university campus, especially if you're only doing so on the advice of some anonymous Shade Tree lawyer on the internet: if caught, you could get into A LOT of trouble, and wind up in jail. And I don't think the "but the DU Gungeon said it was okay" defense will fly once you get before a jury.

81. Posting "A = ~A" is not going to help your case any. Campus carry is legal in California with a CCW

http://wiki.calgunsfoundation.org/Gun_Free_School_Zones Written by lawyers that are actually know of what they speak.

A PC 12050/26150 CCW allows permit holders to legally carry their listed handguns on both K-12 and college/university properties and campuses. That does not insulate a licensed student or employee of a school from administrative or job disciplinary action if the school prohibits carry for those groups.

You try and get a permission slip, just keep them from taking disciplinary/scholastic action against you. Carry is still legal with a CCW regardless.

Any peace officer described in this paragraph who has been honorably retired shall be issued an identification certificate by the law enforcement agency from which the officer has retired. The issuing agency may charge a fee necessary to cover any reasonable expenses incurred by the agency in issuing certificates pursuant to this subdivision.

96. Nope; the actual RELEVANT portion of the law is here:

""15 Penal Code 626.9(c)(4) above specifically excludes persons under Penal Code 12027 subdivisions b,d,e, and h from prosecution under this law. Penal Code 12027(j) deals with persons who hold CCW permits. Because subdivision "j" isn't specifically listed as an exception under Penal Code 626.9, those who carry concealed weapons in a school zone…even with a valid permit…still violate the Gun-Free School Zone Act."

100. Here's the relevant part of the law:

"15 Penal Code 626.9(c)(4) above specifically excludes persons under Penal Code 12027 subdivisions b,d,e, and h from prosecution under this law. Penal Code 12027(j) deals with persons who hold CCW permits. Because subdivision "j" isn't specifically listed as an exception under Penal Code 626.9, those who carry concealed weapons in a school zone…even with a valid permit…still violate the Gun-Free School Zone Act."

[rDigital]

104. You're shooting blanks over there. That's not in the law. That's a bunk interpretation. Not

the actual legal statutes.

http://wiki.calgunsfoundation.org/Gun_Free_School_Zones

A PC 12050/26150 CCW allows permit holders to legally carry their listed handguns on both K-12 and college/university properties and campuses. That does not insulate a licensed student or employee of a school from administrative or job disciplinary action if the school prohibits carry for those groups.

[apocalypsehow]

105. Nope. Again:

"15 Penal Code 626.9(c)(4) above specifically excludes persons under Penal Code 12027 subdivisions b,d,e, and h from prosecution under this law. Penal Code 12027(j) deals with persons who hold CCW permits. Because subdivision "j" isn't specifically listed as an exception under Penal Code 626.9, those who carry concealed weapons in a school zone…even with a valid permit…still violate the Gun-Free School Zone Act."

[apocalypsehow]

107. Yet *another* post not from a legal source, but from a Right-wing website. Niiiiiice....

[rDigital]

109. Who knew? In California: You can carry a gun in College with a Concealed Carry License

the sections of the law that it addresses. You'll find that the interpretation you are clinging so dearly to is without precedent or legal basis.

Go read 12027. It's just a list of people that can't be charged.

Go read 626.9 It list's CCW permit holders as people that are exempt to the GFSZA.

It's a loss for you on all sides. Reading comprehension and research. Don't every take the lazy path in a legal argument.

[apocalypsehow]

110. No, you cannot: that's very bad legal advice, and false to boot.

"15 Penal Code 626.9(c)(4) above specifically excludes persons under Penal Code 12027 subdivisions b,d,e, and h from prosecution under this law. Penal Code 12027(j) deals with persons who hold CCW permits. Because subdivision "j" isn't specifically listed as an exception under Penal Code 626.9, those who carry concealed weapons in a school zone…even with a valid permit…still violate the Gun-Free School Zone Act."

[apocalypsehow]

120. Here's some more help with that false assertion in your reply - enjoy!

Save under very limited circumstances, you cannot strut around a California college campus with your pistol perched in your pants, period. Indeed, you can be subjected to criminal sanctions for doing so, not just civil administrative remedies.

Here is what an actual law firm made up of actual lawyers - not internet free-lancers - has to say about carrying a concealed weapon on a California college campus even if you have a California concealed weapon permit:

"Exceptions to the California Gun-Free School Zone Act

(*snip*)

specific persons who are authorized to carry concealed weapons such as those engaged in the business of selling, manufacturing, etc. firearms and those who are guards, carriers, or messengers for banks or other financial institutions.14 (NOTE: Having a California "carry a concealed weapon CCW permit under Penal Code 12050 PC does not exempt you from prosecution if you carry a concealed weapon in a school zone),15

Further:

"15 Penal Code 626.9(c)(4) above specifically excludes persons under Penal Code 12027 subdivisions b,d,e, and h from prosecution under this law. Penal Code 12027(j) deals with persons who hold CCW permits. Because subdivision "j" isn't specifically listed as an exception under Penal Code 626.9, those who carry concealed weapons in a school zone…even with a valid permit…still violate the Gun-Free School Zone Act.

And here's what can happen if you decide to take Shade Tree legal advice being peddled on the internet and get caught strutting about campus with your favorite heater tucked into your waistband:

"possessing a firearm on school grounds or on a university or college campus or their associated buildings is always a felony.20 (NOTE: Although colleges and universities are beyond the scope of the definition of a "school zone", possessing a gun on these campuses still subjects you to prosecution under California's Gun-Free School Zone Act.)

And even if you wave around your "concealed weapon permit" (assuming you can get one: California is a "may issue" state, and very few are granted in urban/populated areas), it'll likely do you little good, as the law is not on your side.

Further:

" However, if you possess a firearm within a school zone under a different set of circumstances from the three just listed, prosecutors could charge you with violating California's Gun-Free School Zone Act as either a misdemeanor or a felony"

It's not on your side under any number of circumstances.

See also:

"&quot h) Notwithstanding Section 12026, any person who brings or possesses a loaded firearm upon the grounds of a campus of, or buildings owned or operated for student housing, teaching, research, or administration by, a public or private university or college, that are contiguous or are clearly marked university property, unless it is with the written permission of the university or college president, his or her designee, or equivalent university or college authority, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for two, three, or four years. Notwithstanding subdivision (k), a university or college shall post a prominent notice at primary entrances on noncontiguous property stating that firearms are prohibited on that property pursuant to this subdivision. (i) Notwithstanding Section 12026, any person who brings or possesses a firearm upon the grounds of a campus of, or buildings owned or operated for student housing, teaching, research, or administration by, a public or private university or college, that are contiguous or are clearly marked university property, unless it is with the written permission of the university or college president, his or her designee, or equivalent university or college authority, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for one, two, or three years. Notwithstanding subdivision (k), a university or college shall post a prominent notice at primary entrances on noncontiguous property stating that firearms are prohibited on that property pursuant to this subdivision.&quot "

So much for all that jazz about how "even if you get caught they can't put you in jail, just fire or expel you from campus": uh, yes they can.

So my advice is that the next time you find yourself itching to test out your "RKBA" rights, you choose a different venue than a California college/university campus, especially if you're only doing so on the advice of some anonymous Shade Tree lawyer on the internet: if caught, you could get into A LOT of trouble, and wind up in jail. And I don't think the "but the DU Gungeon said it was okay" defense will fly once you get before a jury.

But people still need to defend themselves on campuses quite frequently. Are you volunteering to provide security for others?

it seems that one is quoting the part of the law that deals with K-12 and the other is talking about the university system.

123. That is actually a good observation and question - this popped up on a lot of other legal sites

" However, if you possess a firearm within a school zone under a different set of circumstances from the three just listed, prosecutors could charge you with violating California's Gun-Free School Zone Act as either a misdemeanor or a felony"

It's not on your side under any number of circumstances.

See also:

"&quot h) Notwithstanding Section 12026, any person who brings or possesses a loaded firearm upon the grounds of a campus of, or buildings owned or operated for student housing, teaching, research, or administration by, a public or private university or college, that are contiguous or are clearly marked university property, unless it is with the written permission of the university or college president, his or her designee, or equivalent university or college authority, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for two, three, or four years. Notwithstanding subdivision (k), a university or college shall post a prominent notice at primary entrances on noncontiguous property stating that firearms are prohibited on that property pursuant to this subdivision. (i) Notwithstanding Section 12026, any person who brings or possesses a firearm upon the grounds of a campus of, or buildings owned or operated for student housing, teaching, research, or administration by, a public or private university or college, that are contiguous or are clearly marked university property, unless it is with the written permission of the university or college president, his or her designee, or equivalent university or college authority, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for one, two, or three years.

So much for all that jazz about how "even if you get caught they can't put you in jail, just fire or expel you from campus": uh, yes they can.

So my advice is that the next time you find yourself itching to test out your "RKBA" rights, you choose a different venue than a California college/university campus, especially if you're only doing so on the advice of some anonymous Shade Tree lawyer on the internet: if caught, you could get into A LOT of trouble, and wind up in jail. And I don't think the "but the DU Gungeon said it was okay" defense will fly once you get before a jury.
