Actually it's not a law, it's a VT policy. According to VA law those students are perfectly within their rights to carry concealed weapons on the campus.
VT, however, has said their policy is to expel any student caught legally carrying a firearm.

The ‘law’ was proposed to eliminate the ‘policy’, or any other ‘policy’ from prohibiting legal carry.
Which is just wrong.
You shouldn’t need no stinking law.
You’re right, but on that campus that’s the law, too bad for the sheep.
We’re having the same argument in my state. We have a concealed carry law in effect, but our liberal colleges have refused to allow it on campus. Fortunately, our lawmakers told the state colleges they are state property and will abide by the law. The colleges are in the process of appealing and still fighting. This VT thing will energize the dialog I’m sure.
