If i had a dollar for every time I (hypothetically) picked up or dropped off a child at school while carrying, or (hypothetically) went in to drop something off and locked my firearm in a safe in the car, I could (hypothetically) retire.
There are two easy ways to get jacked up for carrying on school property:
- Get made while storing the firearm in the trunk (or retrieving it before you drive away).
- For your child to run their mouth at school.
There are more anecdotes on NES whinging about having to access the trunk off-campus,
than there are about how NESers either set their kids straight,
or keep them utterly in the dark about when they carry.
You've established elsewhere the point is moot for you.
I'm just sayin', for people playing along at home.
I can tell you that I know a campus cop at one of the state schools (which means they are special state police and can give out MV violations unlike private college campus police) and he claims that his department has arrested and prosecuted people for driving on roadways (including a state highway) that bisect his college campus. He claims that they are campus property.
Pro-tip: if the school closes every such road at least once every 365 days to re-establish their ownership and extinguish any public rights-of-way, then they own the road. (Or the town fathers are incredibly weak).
Otherwise, the school doesn't own the road,
or they own the road but an easement by prescription may have been created
through their past negligence.
(Well, unless the way the school closes the road is by setting piles of tires on fire
and guarding the fires with armed police; then they may not actually own it).
My college closed all the gates annually for 24 hours on a Sunday during the January intersession.
Campus police wouldn't even admit pedestrians unless they could show college ID.
Harvard Yard would be the paradigm example of a good place to play that game.
Oh look:
What is a prescriptive easement? ... if a person openly, continuously (for at least 20 years), exclusively, adversely and notoriously treats a property as if he, she or they owned it, an ownership of adverse possession may be created and the person who has done all the aforesaid things may end up the owner of property because of this long-standing pattern of behavior. Similarly,
if a person does all of the things set forth above with respect to a foot-path or a driveway for a long period of time, that person may have established a “prescriptive easement” to continue the use involved. That is the reason that once every year, all of the gates in Harvard Yard in Cambridge, Massachusetts are locked so as to show that there is one date when passing through Harvard Yard is not permitted, and, thereby no prescriptive easement is established.
Feel free to taunt your buddy with the spectre that they've lost control of their property.
