Carry on Campus: Where do you stand?

You’re wrong mang. The law actually mandates that any new hunter must pass a valid hunter safety course before they’re given a hunting license. Once you have your first license, you don’t need to retake the course. When passed, the law had a grandfather clause that also allowed all persons with existing, valid licenses to not have to take the training.

Stores are supposed to ask you for either an old license or proof of safety course completion; they usually don’t though. This isn’t because they aren’t mandated by law, it’s because they just don’t care and no one has ever come down on them for not checking.

Wow, my mistake. I didn’t take in an old one the last time I bought one, so I didn’t realize such a law was on the books.

Thanks for pointing that out, mang…hehe.

I’m not reading all 12 pages, but PA defines only Elementary and Secondary educational institutions as off limits for carry, they also define Secondary education as High School. It is up to the College or University as to whether you can carry or not, not the state.

You came into this late, but part of the issue is how places that receive public funds can try to make such rules.

In Utah, currently it’s not up the school, the supreme court overruled them and said they could not prohibit carrying and students are currently permitted to carry on campus in Utah.
