Campus Gun Bans Are Still on Solid Ground, Legal Experts Say - Legal - The Chronicle of Higher Education

Um. Perhaps.

Point is, if you live on campus and this is your "residence" can they ban you from owning?

Gun Free Zones are not. See: Virginia Tech.

Only if they catch you with it.

Probably in the same manner a landlord can ban you from owning guns on their rented property. (AG Opinion)

But what if they are a state supported school?

I can see a private school doing whatever they want, but a school supported by tax payer dollars, the school vehicles on campus with state tags, etc. No way no how.

I don't see it being sustained. If an individual has a right to keep and bear arms, then any restrictions on that right are subject to strict scrutiny. Under 'strict scrutiny' there has to be a constant and compelling reason to deny that right. That means the antis will have to PROVE that people are safer in gun-free zones than in other places.

The problem is the cost and effort involved in challenging these laws. It is much cheaper and easier to change the law than to get them overturned in court.
