Univ. Neb. @ Omaha question
Stockmwk:
Hello all, looking for some input on a question I thought of today. I turned in my CHP paperwork yesterday and have been scanning my usual spots for whether or not I can carry when I wanted to double check my campus, UNO. http://www.unomaha.edu/security/concealedhandgunpermitact.php here is what the website says about guns on campus. I was under the impression that I can leave my handgun, locked in glovebox, lockbox attached to my personal vehicle, etc. and out of site. For clarification on this I was planning on calling the NSP office tomorrow but wanted to ask here first. Thanks

Welcome to the NFOA....are you a student or an employee? I am only guessing here & I'm sure others will have more info, but I would imagine you are ok in the eyes of the law leaving it locked in your vehicle in a lockbox but I bet the student/employee handbook prohibits it.
Congrats on the CHP as well!
SemperFiGuy:
The UNO policy is quite straightforward:
No Guns on Campus Property Anywhere. Not on Your Person, Not in Your Trunk. Certainly Not in Your Dorm Room. Nor any Classroom. Nor the Parking Lot. Nor the Student Center. Nor in Your Pocket. Nor Holster.
Nowhere Nowhere Nowhere.
Such is the Official Policy.
At least, it was when I left campus today.

Thanks jfade! I'm a commuter student who lives off campus though.
semperfiguy, yes the reading of it is straight forward but I have a hard time believing the UNO website for the interpretation of a CHP, not just an individual with a registered handgun and purchase permit.

The UNO "policy" does not apply to anyone that is not a UNO student or employee, as it is not a crime to do as you stated above, as long as you hold a valid CHP and the handgun stays in the vehicle while parked in a lot open to the public. But it could get you fired or expelled for violating the "policy"

This policy is not a legal prohibition as it violates provisions of the Concealed Handgun Act and also violates preemption laws that apply specifically to valid permit holders...
