I am going to grad school in the 'awesome' state of IL. Obviously we are not permitted to carry at all on campus and the school has a strict no weapons policy, at least on campus. I was witness to an incident where a former student was arrested and banned from campus for having a stun gun, although he was also showing it off and letting other guys shock themselves. I'm still amazed at the stupidity of some people.
My current situation is that I am going on a trip with the school soon and will be going to several other states that I am licensed to CCW in. I was planning on taking my pistol in my duffel bag to have at the hotel room, I actually wasn't planning on carrying while on the trip. I was reminding my wife of the passcode to the gun safe in case she needs it while I am gone and she asked me if I was planning on taking a pistol on the trip with me. I said I was and she got really upset and is worried that if I do, someone will make me and I will get kicked out of school or suspended.
My thought is that what I was planning to do was completely legal in every state we would be in, any kind of trouble that might come of it would only be from the school. I say so be it, at least I'll be prepared, but now I'm questioning it.
What would you all do in my situation?
