Looking for advice from the experts on here.
I know concealed is concealed, but need to stay within the law.
My eldest son (ex army medic) as started at the "New England College Of Optometry"
This is private collage and my understanding was that you could carry concealed at a private collage but not a state school or collage.
However, the following does not distinguish the difference between a state or private school, so is my understanding wrong.
The school as no posted firearms rules, he wants to carry but needs to stay within the law.
Thanks in advance
Harry
