    From my research, VA distinguishes between schools and universities and NC doesn't seem to. Their is apparently a list in VA of universities prohibiting carry. In NC I couldn't tell...

    Federally, is there a distinction with schools and universities for carry?

    I don't think it's technically illegal to carry on a VA campus. Of course the university policy will have you expelled if caught.
    That's why when a state decriminalizes college carry, it really doesn't mean much. Carry needs to be specifically authorized on all public universities.

    Several VA Universities have prohibited carry. GMU comes to mind. IIRC the VA AG said it was within the Univ. purview to ban carry in buildings, but not grounds or something like that. VCDL may have some info on t.

    i'll go snoop around.
