The other day a friend of mine were talking about a whole slew of things and the subject came around to the Fort Hood shooting and V. Tech shooting a few years back. He said that he thoguht prohibiting carry on campus was stupid (agree with him there) but that for all intents and purposes, the law prohibiting carry on a college campus didn't really have any teeth (don't agree with him there). I told him he was full of crap and that if caught (with or without a CWL) he would be in mucho trouble and find out there was a lot of teeth behind the law. He disagreed so I told him I would look it up and we made a bet on it
Here are the only relevant sections I have been able to find:
O.S. 21 section 1277, subsection C:
Any person violating the provisions of subsection A of this section
shall, upon conviction, be guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by a fine
not to exceed Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00). Any person
convicted of violating the provisions of this section may be liable for an
administrative fine of Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00) upon a
hearing and determination by the Oklahoma State Bureau of
Investigation that the person is in violation of the provisions of this
section.
O.S. 21 section 1277 subsection D paragraph 3:
The college or university may notify the Oklahoma State Bureau of
Investigation within ten (10) days of a violation of any provision of this
subsection by a licensee. Upon receipt of a written notification of violation, the Bureau shall give a reasonable notice to the licensee and hold a hearing. At the hearing upon a determination that the licensee has violated any provision of this subsection, the licensee may be subject to an administrative fine of Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00) and may have the concealed handgun license suspended for three (3) months.
So what I'm getting from this is that all in all, you are looking at:
a misdeameanor
two seperate $250 fines
a 3 month CWL suspension
This doesn't really seem to be that severe. Surely I'm missing something here. Are there any other pertinent federal/state laws that come into play?
Help (me win my bet)!
