Re: Is Campus Carry prohibited by state law or campus rules?

Interesting development on that front. Virginia Attorney General Cucinelli recently released an opinion saying that universities cannot prohibit concealed carry by policy alone. Rather they must go through the process to get a regulation published in the Virginia Administrative Code (some, but not all, VA universities currently have such a regulation published). This is subject to a higher standard of review and can be fought by VA gun rights organization such as the Virginia Citizen's Defense League.
