You told the truth. Your oath was to the US. Look at your oath and then that of an officer? That may guide you as to who to complain to.

I know I did.

I have, actually. I even referenced it in this paper I wrote:

And THAT’S where the politics/good-old-boy crap comes in. As I see it there are far too many people who hide between laws & rules when it’s to their advantage and yet ignore them when they aren’t.

A good example would be this state law which illegalizes [the carrying of] firearms on University premises... despite having a Section in the State Constitution which says the following:
[Right to bear arms.]
No law shall abridge the right of the citizen
to keep and bear arms for security and
defense, for lawful hunting and recreational
use and for other lawful purposes, but nothing
herein shall be held to permit the carrying
of concealed weapons. No municipality
or county shall regulate, in any way, an incident
of the right to keep and bear arms. (As
amended November 2, 1971 and November
2, 1986.)

Now, if I were to take my .45 glock onto campus with me how much would you want to bet that I would: a) have it be taken away, b) be harassed for exercising that right, and/or c) charged with a misdemeanor according to the applicable state-law?

This brings us directly back to the question of how to get the Constitution [US or State] to be in its proper, superior place.
