Gun Carry Virginia

[Justbo1901]

In February I'll be traveling to Charlottesville Va to see my Duke Blue Devils take on the UVA Cavaliers. I will be traveling with a friend whom also has a HCP. I was wondering if anyone knew about Virginia's gun carry laws. I will have to keep my Gun in my Lock box in my Truck during the game. I did know about campus/school gun laws in Va. Didn't know if I could park on campus or would need to find a place off campus to park.

from Handgunlaw.us

School property/school functions (School busses are school property) unless gun is unloaded, in an enclosed container (but NOT in the glove box or console) and in the vehicle. A car's trunk is considered an enclosed container. However, a concealed handgun permit holder can have a loaded, concealed handgun in the vehicle while in the school parking lot, traffic circle, etc. The concealed handgun and the permit holder must stay in the vehicle. Firearms are not banned from property open to the public where a school function is being held unless that property is being used exclusively for the school function. Violation of this statute is a felony

Charlottesville is not particularly gun friendly territory.

Let it be known I'm not asking for Legal advice but this sounds like I can carry on the campus?

From reading it and the page on handgunlaw.us it seems he saying the can not impose a general ban, but can still prohibit carry in certain situations and places.
