Something for our Unicameral

HuskerXDM:
Is there a legal body that could answer these questions?  I suppose this is small potatoes for the NRA, but it would be nice to be able to legally store my firearm in my vehicle so I don't have to drive an extra 20 minutes to get my gun before going to the range in town.  Whatever, it's just a convenience thing right now, but I would like to know if LPS can make a rule for employees that doesn't seem to be in line with federal law.

The NRA was complicit in establishing the Universities as banned places

Husker_Fan:
In general, government agencies, like the UofN can impose restrictions as conditions of employment just like a private employee.  They may also place the restrictions on their students.  A violation of the policy is not a violation of any law, but can expose the student or employee to disciplinary action by the University.

As Dan pointed out, state law does allow any person to carry in their vehicle onto campus with a permit without being guilty of a crime.  However, if you are a student or employee, you are in violation of the policy.

Ronvandyn:
Of course I was speaking from my own personal perspective.  I am not a student at UNL so carrying in my vehicle would have no consequence for me.  Getting out and walking around campus with a concealed firearm would of course be a different concern. 

I work for the Feds and am not allowed to carry while on its property, but that does not mean that I cannot leave it in my car as I perform my duties.  Its a nice little fine point in our states law that works in my favor.  :)
