CCW at PRIVATE Schools

[Adawg38]

You can't carry at a public school, however you can bring your gun but it must remain in the glove box of your car and the doors locked. I know some schools allow Concealed carry but it is probably debatable since CSU just recently banned concealed carry but then a lawsuit was filed on them and as of right know I believe the ban has been dropped. check out RMGO.org they keep updated on all laws in the state of Colorado and you can ask them any question and they will give you a straight answer.

That's why I wanted to know about private elementary, middle and high shcools.

18 U.S.C. §922(q), known as the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1991, prohibits possession of a firearm in a school zone (on the campus of a public or private school or within 1,000 feet of the grounds). Narrow exceptions are made for the proper authorities, firearms possessed on private property, being transported in an automobile, and several other similar circumstances. (RMGO's Note: a concealed weapons permit allows you to carry in these zones, though state law doesn't allow you to carry in
public schools).

That's all I can find sorry. If you want to be 100% shoot rmgo.org an email but to my knowledge it would be the same as public. I would treat private schools the same as public.

Leads me to believe you could but I would assume you need permission from the school.
