Dont jump down my throat just yet, please.... 
According to my campus' policies and procedures...
"Compliance with Indiana State Laws: Violation of these laws is also against College rules and violators may also be prosecuted according to Indiana law....
Possession of firearms... and other weapons, dangerous chemicals, or any explosive or explosive device is prohibited on College property or at any College sponsored activity held elsewhere...."
But IN law states
"Possession of a knife on school property
Sec. 2.5. (a) As used in this section, "knife" means an instrument that:
(1) consists of a sharp edged or sharp pointed blade capable of inflicting cutting, stabbing, or tearing wounds; and
(2) is intended to be used as a weapon."
If a student possesses a knife on college property, and they don't intend for it to be a weapon, would you still be able to prosecute? Or is it just a violation of campus rules?
I don't carry a knife in the building, but I do have one locked in my car, which is ok according to IN law. Would you, as a police officer, say I should be ok carrying a knife in the building, or would you say its a bad move? I know several students who do carry a knife in the building, but Ive always been afraid of getting arrested for it...
