“And let’s say it was accidental, that they had a handgun underneath a coat or something, they bent over and the handgun could be seen,” CTC Police Chief Mary Wheeler said. “It’s no longer concealed if someone can see it.” Chief Wheeler said a violation of this law could lead to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment for employees or expulsion for students, including the first occurrence.

When you announce you will prosecute people in bad faith for accidentally displaying a firearm, you get pissed off Gun People who will make their next goal to make sure Open Carry is allowed on Campus.
Same thing that has happened in Florida: Some LEO Chiefs decided to be dicks with accidental displays and now Open Carry is again in the Legislature and hopefully will become law this year.
She sure knows how to fight crime!
If by “Crime” you mean “Doughnuts”, I gotta agree.
She should turn in her Frequent Dunkin Card.
Kept on safety and no chambered rounds? Quite the fucking little tyrant isn’t she?
Little?
Also what part the law says that they have any say in how you can carry?
How’s she going to police that? Wouldn’t any check of that require exposing the firearm and handling it?
What she is really saying is “just tell us you saw a gun and we’ll go arrest them and throw them off campus. Sure, they’ll probably win in court, but it will take a few years and will effectively stop others from carrying.”
Yup… If she can scare you into Concealed Carry, her political job is done.
Best way to go. Fight for open carry, win open carry, then KEEP IT CONCEALED!
The fantastic lobbyist we have in IL managed to get protection from accidental exposure added into the law due to what was going on in Florida. He also used the abuses in Ohio to keep mandatory disclosure out.
