Grigdaniel Posted October 27, 2017 at 05:08 PM Share Posted October 27, 2017 at 05:08 PM For most universities and colleges in this great state, with a CCL it is totally legal to have a loaded firearm in my car while I'm in direct control of the vehicle correct?

It can also be loaded and properly locked in the car, when you are not in the car, in no-gun zones like schools. Your vehicle is considered a safe harbor. You may carry while within, even in a no gun area, like a school parking lot, government building lot, etc, which would normally be a no gun zone. You may carry, to leave the car in these zones, to put the gun. or retrieve it from your trunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought colleges had the right to force you to park your car in a designated area if you had a firearm in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Here it is, pop my window, steal my gun!" Yeah, sure. "Force" me? Not. I can find plenty of other parking places than a designated "gun about to be stolen" parking lot!

But I haven't ever seen documentation that any have done so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic is not a strong point of anti-gun people...or...you could argue they clearly know of the unintended consequences of their legislation and are doing it on purpose.

I don't know how that can be enforced, given its basically the reverse of the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinnyb82 Posted November 7, 2017 at 12:55 PM Share Posted November 7, 2017 at 12:55 PM They have special parking for cars with firearms? Do they also have signage for this? Have material that they disseminate saying "park here if you have a gun"? If so, that's REALLY REALLY stupid. Like, incredibly, earth shattering idiocy. Hope no car is burglarized and has a firearm stolen or the school ought to be held liable for giving criminals a road map to the gun(s). "Hey, criminals. Guns are in this lot...." State-created danger. Sent from my VS987 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

State-created danger. Sent from my VS987 using Tapatalk I have not interviewed NIU or anything, what I did is find a PDF online outlining how they will have certain posted "restricted" parking lots where firearms are NOT allowed in vehicles. Take a read for yourself PDF warning http://www.niu.edu/board/policies/Concealed_Carry_University_Policy_082913.pdf No idea if it is being enforced, if its been scrapped, it was posted here at one point years and years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinnyb82 Posted November 7, 2017 at 10:27 PM Share Posted November 7, 2017 at 10:27 PM Yeah that draft is useless for determining what is and what isn't a restricted lot. They draft the rules, then more bureaucrats draft the rules for the rules, and so on. "Certain parking areas on Campus may be designated as areas where weapons and firearms are not permitted." That should say "...where lawfully possessed weapons and firearms are not permitted." Sent from my VS987 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriots & Tyrants Posted November 8, 2017 at 03:23 AM Share Posted November 8, 2017 at 03:23 AM Agree 100% ; I imagine it is a catch all if your caught with a gun in your car as a student or employee. I wanna say UIC or someone like that also had a designated lot but did away with it quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaius Posted November 10, 2017 at 10:16 PM Share Posted November 10, 2017 at 10:16 PM No, UIC never had a designated lot, and does not to this day. (i am a recently retired employee of UIC and was also on a committee that was formed originally to consider how to deal with the then new CCW law.)
