That's awful nice of you. I'll probably sell off the guns that are easily replaced (the extra money will come in handy) and just keep the few I have left over at my dad's.

I just don't like the idea of being unarmed for the next two years and my guns being 8 hours away. I would get an apartment or something off campus, but the scholarship covers all my housing and eating needs for the length of time that I'll be there.

That's a rather tempting scholarship and hard to turn down. After a few months you may strike up a friendship with a local off campus who can store some of your guns for an occasional shooting session. At that point you could bring over a couple to Jonesboro.

Yeah, a trusted off campus friend would be nice.

OK allows "parking lot" carry even at colleges:

D. No person in possession of any concealed handgun pursuant to the
Oklahoma Self-Defense Act shall be authorized to carry the handgun
into or upon any college or university property, except as provided in
this subsection. For purposes of this subsection, the following property
shall not be construed as prohibited for persons having a valid
concealed handgun license:

1. Any property set aside for the use of any vehicle, whether attended
or unattended, provided the handgun is carried or stored as
required by law and the handgun is not removed from the vehicle
without the prior consent of the college or university president
while the vehicle is on any college or university property;

I know this is for Oklahoma only, but it would be worth researching the Arkansas statutes to see if they have a similar provision. I know I would like to have at least my carry weapon ready to go when I left campus.

OK I reasearched the AR law myself (useful as my brother lives there).

5-73-306. Prohibited places.
(a) No license issued pursuant to this subchapter shall authorize any person to carry a concealed handgun into:
...

(14) Any school, college, community college, or university campus building or event, unless for the purpose of participating in an authorized firearms-related activity;

So one is only prohibited from carrying in buildings or at events (I imagine primarily sporting events, but others would be applicable as well).


The AG decision also supports this, but he warns,

However, if the institution in question has elected to prohibit the carrying of concealed handguns into its property by the posting of signs to that effect, no handguns may be carried in any property of the institution, even by licensed handgun carriers.

So, as long as the college has no SIGNS posted prohibiting firearms, I'd pack in my car and call it good.

Looks like the law question has been answered. While I might leave "a" gun in my car, I would NOT store many there. I don't know what Jonesboro an the town immediately surrounding campus is like, but I know that some of the college campuses I've been on, I would NEVER leave a gun unattended in a car. Seen too many vehicles broken into on those campuses. Just a thought.
