At one time it was a Federal law, not sure if it is now.

It was a response to the Texas Tower shooter (Whitman?)

True, but campus rules (especially on an open/public campus) are only applicable to students/faculty/staff. Someone not affiliated with the University doesn't fall under that jurisdiction.

I don't know VA law on firearms on campus, but I know Texas law only states that a CHL holder Can only not carry on school premises, which is defined as the interior of a building, not including parking garages. Longguns aren't covered. However, since University property usually includes parking garages, land around buildings, etc, The Student Code of Conduct, or other stuff you sign will usually have a clause where you agree to not bring them on campus at all. So, you can get expelled, but break no law.

We visited Texas Tech in Lubbock a few weeks ago to give daughter #2 a tour. As we drove on campus, the first sign we saw was, “Unlicensed carry of weapons on campus is prohibited”. I told my daughter the place just shot up on my list of preferences. Gotta love West Texas!
