What are the differences between federal and state laws in regards to weapons?

There are several differences between federal and state laws.  These differences in weapon laws can be prosecuted separately. It is up to each licensed carrier to know their responsibilities and rights under federal and state law. 

Weapons on Campus
  • What type of permit does someone need to hold in order to carry a weapon legally on campus?
  • What is considered “concealed” in terms of weapons?
  • Where does a weapon need to be in order to be legally considered “concealed”? Can a weapon be in a backpack or purse, or does it need to be directly on a person’s body or within reaching distance of the person?
  • What constitutes an unconcealed firearm?
  • What should be done if it is suspected someone is carrying a concealed weapon?
  • What should be done if someone feels intimidated by any person they believe is carrying a weapon?
  • Will CWI have armed security officers?
  • Is there going to be a storage location for weapons?
