They hate ALL carry, but the antis are REALLY good at the slippery slope via focusing on niche issues:
All I need to say is: Have you ever read about a campus shooting at a school where campus carry was legal?
Funny how that works.

Well just look at all those schools shootings perpetuated by people with CCW permits.
Oh.
There was a shooting on campus in Georgia in Frat House Row just last week but it has not been made clear if the shooter had a CWP or was just being an idiot
“Have you ever read about a campus shooting at a school where campus carry was legal?”
Might want to change that “legal” to “allowed”. Campus carry was (and still is) legal at both Virginia Tech and Appalachian School of Law, but prohibited to students and faculty by school policy.
The map needs to be updated for Oregon. A couple state university students have sued after being arrested for legally carrying pistols on campus with CHLs. The cases were upheld as Oregon’s statutes allow only the State Legislature – and cities, municipalities, and counties explicitly authorized by the Legislature – to regulate carry of firearms (often referred to as “preemption”). State universities are not explicitly authorized, therefore they cannot prohibit lawful carry.
Not that they don’t try; they just make it a condition of attending school there. You won’t be arrested, but you will be expelled. Non-students and visitors have no such worry. (Ironically, it’s the same as on a public K-12 school campus; the antis will freak out about that if they’re reminded that licensed carry at schools is legal, but unless reminded it’s like they’ve forgotten about it. Needless to say, it’s never been a problem.)
Private universities are, of course, private property, and they’re free to restrict guns all they want.
