Weapons on Campus

It is unlawful for any person to possess or to carry, whether openly or concealed, any weapon of any kind not used solely for instructional or school sanctioned ceremonial purposes, on any property owned, used, or operated by Halifax Community College. Any person violating the provision of this section is guilty of a felony, and upon conviction, will be punished at the discretion of the court, with fine or imprisonment, or both; the penalty (fine), not to exceed five hundred dollars ($500) or 6 months imprisonment.

Although a person may meet all of the requirements to carry a concealed weapon, permittees are not authorized to carry the permitted weapon in all places. The weapon may not be carried on school grounds under G.S. 14-269.2, except when permittees can secure their weapons in their vehicle on school grounds. Students may also refer to the Register Concealed Handgun section of the College's website under Security.
