Pocket Knife

Is carrying a pocket knife illegal on any college campus?

I live in Mississippi and my community college campus isn’t exactly the safest place to be. I just recently bought a swiss army pocket knife, the Handyman. The blade is no bigger than my thumb by width and length. Carrying such an item is normal in the south, especially in my area, for many purposes. Is this really illegal to carry on campus? I would rather risk being caught for having it than walk to night class without it.

Those advocating talking to the security people are wasting your time – of course the campus cops will tell you it’s illegal; it’s in their best interest to do so.

There should be a campus handbook that lists the ‘do’s’ and ‘dont’s’ of school behaviour. In there will be a generic statement to the effect that “All bad things must not be on the campus at any time”.

If you keep it concealed and you mouth shut you should be OK.

On a brighter note – Utah secondary schools now allow CCW .
