Although it’s a public university, UTC has specific rules when it comes to carrying guns on campus. Here is the information for students, staff and faculty. Please note.
They are:
- Only faculty and staff are allowed to carry a gun.
- Anyone who carries a gun of any kind anywhere on campus must have a concealed-carry permit.
- Students are not allowed to carry a gun at any time on campus, even if they have a permit.
- If a faculty or staff member enrolls in a course at UTC, whether it’s on campus or online, they cannot carry a gun on campus until the course is completed for the semester.
If caught with an illegal gun on campus, a person can be charged with a Class E felony, which carries the possibility of one to six years in jail and up to a $3,000 fine.
