The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - Idaho legal definitionof school

I was having a discussion with a fellow student who claimed it was legal to carry concealed firearms on campus. Now I have done some reading and my understanding of legalese is foggy at best, but I can't seem to find a statute either prohibiting on specifically college campus or including college campus in the definition of "school" since there can be a difference and I need a watertight argument. Here's the site I've been using and the link to school and firearms:

From what I can gather out of the School definition it seems to apply to the education of minors, but anything I research on the web talks about bills to "legalize" campus carry.

I also remember some story about it being legal to carry as long as you weren't a student but the college could ask you to leave and invoke trespass law.

WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE SO COMPLICATED!?!?
