49-7-118 (d) wrote:When properly commissioned and qualified in accordance with the policies of the board of regents and board of trustees, the police officers shall have all the police powers necessary to enforce all state laws as well as rules and regulations of the board of regents and the board of trustees. The authority granted extends to all facilities or property owned, leased or operated by the board of regents or the board of trustees, including any public roads or rights-of-way that are contiguous to, within the perimeter of or connect between the facilities, property or interests of a particular institution.
And TCA 39-17-1309 makes it an offense to carry:
39-18-1309 wrote:on any public or private school campus, grounds, recreation area, athletic field or any other property owned, used or operated by any board of education, school, college or university board of trustees, regents or directors for the administration of any public or private educational institution.
Given this, does this mean that if I keep my weapon in my vehicle, not parked on school property, but on a city street between or bordering campus, that I am in violation of 39-17-1309, simply because campus police "use" those roads in accordance with 49-17-118 for administration of state law and school code?
