Possession of Weapons
(updated 02/24/2016)
Galveston College prohibits all employees and students from possessing weapons, concealed or otherwise, except law enforcement personnel who are authorized to carry a weapon. A person commits an offense if the person knowingly, intentionally, or recklessly possesses a firearm, illegal knife, or any prohibited weapon listed in FLBF Local, on the College campuses or any grounds or buildings in which an activity is sponsored. This includes all College vehicles. Violations of this policy will result in disciplinary action including termination of employment and criminal prosecution. A firearm or ammunition that is stored or transported in a locked, privately owned or leased vehicle, by a person who holds the license to carry a concealed handgun and who lawfully possesses the firearm or ammunition, does not constitute a violation of this policy.
