Yeah getting expelled from school would be a pretty big deal for me so I'm not gonna risk it.

100% understandable. I am also a student here but I keep my 23 in my truck at all times. I have never had to pull it and never been in a situation has remotely called for it. However, it is the same reason people keep home defense guns at their house, it can happen.

I do not drink and drive, do not speed, and always try to follow all traffic laws. That gives LSU pd no reason to pull me over. But I am a realist and know that cops do pull over vehicles with little to no PC (I work for WL&F so I'm not hating). If and when you or myself get pulled over, that gun in my console, my knife on my side, your katana sword (everyone has those in their trucks right?) or even your flashlight can be interpreted as a weapon.

Basically, I choose to keep my gun in my truck even with the possibility of facing LSU reprimand. Now if you're not a student, no reason not to stock up.

I speed and drive like an a-hole sometimes, I'm surprised LSU PD hasn't pulled me over yet.

Once I get my pistol, and I'm outta here, it's staying with me.

I'm assuming you're referring to a Glock 23? I'm leaning heavily toward a Glock myself.

That I do. I am sure that you have heard plenty of good things and plenty of bad things, this is my 2 cents:

Great pistol
Will not win any beauty pageants
Accurate as necessary to 15-20 yards
Won't jam or break

I am am about to retire the kimber and looking at getting another .45 and it is between glock and sig.

To confirm what Ice Cream Sammich said here is the law or at least the part of the statute that matters. The entire definition and conditions is much longer.
