Where can I find informaiton on carrying a pistol inside a MNSCU building?

I can't remember the place where I saw information on this before, but it was very vague anyway.

Thanks for the help.

Packing.org: A public post secondary institution ... may establish policies that restrict the carry or possession of firearms by its students while on the institution's property. ...

So it's legal to carry unless stated otherwise?

As usual, it is wise to go to the source document -- the law.

Subd. 18. Employers; public colleges and universities. (a) An employer, whether public or private, may establish policies that restrict the carry or possession of firearms by its employees while acting in the course and scope of employment. Employment related civil sanctions may be invoked for a violation.

(b) A public postsecondary institution regulated under chapter 136F or 137 may establish policies that restrict the carry or possession of firearms by its students while on the institution's property. Academic sanctions may be invoked for a violation.

(c) Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) and (b), an employer or a postsecondary institution may not prohibit the lawful carry or possession of firearms in a parking facility or parking area.


So if you are a student, you could be disciplined or expelled for carry. If you are an employee, you could be disciplined or fired. If you are a visitor, they can't prohibit you from varrying or ask you to leave for that reason.

MNSCU outlines their policy here:

Quote:
Subpart B. Students.

1. Prohibition. Students are prohibited from possessing or carrying a firearm while on System property, regardless of whether the student has a permit to carry a firearm, except as otherwise provided in this policy.
2. Licensed peace officers. This policy does not apply to students who are licensed peace officers under Minnesota Statutes section 626.84, subd.1(c) (see related documents below).


It is nice to see they specifically outline valid permit holder 'visitors' as an exception to their policy:

Quote:
Part 4. Exceptions.

Subpart A. Parking areas. This policy does not prohibit the lawful possession or carry of firearms in a parking area or parking facility.

Subpart B. Authorized uses. This policy does not prohibit:

3. Possession or carry of a pistol by a visitor who has a lawful permit to carry a pistol pursuant to Minnesota Statutes section 624.714, subd. 1a (see related documents below).
