I am enrolled at Wilmington University and attending classes in Georgetown (they share a few buildings with DelTech) and their Dover campus. I have been trying to find a specific answer and all they say in their online rules is that a student who is illegally possessing a deadly weapon their expelled and what ever charges that the police give. But they didn't show anything about specific Do's or Don'ts in regards to firearms or CCW. I can't afford to find out the hard way so I decided to call and ask them over the phone before one of their highly skilled security guards calls the police. The guy who answered first gave a bunch of "Um's" and then transferred me to Security. The guy was real nice and said that the school would ask that anyone legally possessing a firearm secure it in their car prior to entering any of the buildings. I didn't get into a lengthy conversation with him but I imagine they don't want it disturbing the class because not everyone is comfortable around someone with a gun. I am there for probably about 2 yrs so I will try to find out the specifics.
Long and short is Wilmington University said they want weapons secured in your vehicle while in class.
I think in UDs books it says no weapons on campus.....but I imagine it could be something like no guns in a school zone of sorts (but if you have a CCW its different). When i see shootings at schools and I express my frustration to my girl friend (shes OK with long guns but i am still working on her comfort level with pistols) she always argues people wouldnt be comfortable with me carrying. All I say is- you have no idea when I do and do not carry- that is the purpose of CC vs OC. No one would know.
But I have a couple months left then i am done so its not worth currently pursing...but all the muggings/robberies around newark has made me more cautious and carry everywhere except on campus. Its a pain but I think the skills learned with CCW, being more aware of your surroundings and such, has given me a lot more protection than the average joe, walking alone at night, not paying attention on their cell phone or even during the day.
I am always aware of my surrounds, if I am not comfortable, I move, move fast out of it. Just like vehicle accidents- you are more likely to get into a collision/such close to your home, I am extremely caution every step to my door.
