Too many variables in your post...not enough infoIs it still a no gun zone if it stays locked in your vehicle? Sucks to have to drive 2 1//2 hours each way unarmed these days when bringing kids stuff to school.
From your post as long as it's in the lock box and unloaded before entering the campus property, gun never leaving the vehicle it's legal, correct. Never leaving MA. Thanks.
IANAL.
The law and reality are not congruent. I know of one person that was jammed up, for real, for having a properly stored long gun and ammo in their locked vehicle on a college campus.
'Cuz guns and 'cuz safety.
YMMV.
How about you take two seconds, breathe in, blink a few times, then breathe out slowly.These responses are BS, are you 12? Trainer of what, tinker toys. Go to the gaming forum, this is the law forum.

Actually, the law reads "carry on one's person".IIRC @Rob Boudrie at least one person was CONVICTED when the gun was locked up in the vehicle on a school property. I'll let him expound on that.
Yes, the law reads "carry" but the Marsupial judges make up new "law" all the time when it comes to guns!

Someone in CO sued and lost in Fed Court. They wanted to be able to leave the gun locked up in the car on USPO property while tending to business there and the ruling was that it wasn't legal.Open question was whether any Storage allowance in post office parking lots is valid. I know it has been upheld for schools (by their permission. )

Everyone his kids tell.unless one is doing something stupid to flag a firearm is locked in the car, who's going to know?
Leaving a loose piece of brass lying around has in at least one case been the basis for a search warrant. I read the warrant application and it stated the subject was suspected of having a gun stored in the car in violation of 269-10j. And yes, the judge approved a warrant for this non-crime and when it got to district court the first the judge said was "I don't want to hear any arguments about the warrant.". It never made it a real trial because the defendant felt it was not worth risking a conviction when he was offered a CWOF deal on the storage charge that was filed immediately after his attorney pointed out the non-crime and the ADA dropped that charge.Everyone his kids tell.
(Feel free to point out that "telling kids" counts as "something stupid").
unless one is doing something stupid to flag a firearm is locked in the car, who's going to know? we must all be pretty good at keeping these "secrets" by now.
We’d much rather submit to the government. Less icky feelings that way.* Big kid rules* or just leave your gun at home, if it bothers you that much.
At least you have advance warning -Dog sweep. If a properly trained animal happens to be deployed for a training exercise or routine weapons sweep.
Long shot but possible.
This isn't a normal drop off, in and out. There are these special rules. Check in points, then unload at the curb and move vehicle back to check in point. Then go back to the dorm on foot or shuttle to bring items into the dorm. My issue is what's going on at the check in area and my vehicle under their control. These people seem drunk with power and I would not put it past them that due to Covid we need to search your vehicle.
Since their is no clear cut law, or new rulings allowing it, which is what I was asking, I guess I'll get batteries for my 6D flashlight and leave the gun at home. Thanks anyway.
