If I take the"permitted" part and the "a bar, a church, a city hall, a park, his car" part as premises, I don't see the campus thing as distinguishable (though I guess one could always argue hypotheticals).

Virginia allows folks to carry concealed in bars!?! Not good.
I'd imagine the individual private business can ban it on premises.
I was going to construct an argument about the dangers of allowing young folks with (almost by definition) not fully mature judgment to carry weapons when surrounded by thousands like them in an atmosphere fraught with alcohol and sexual tension -- but hell, if you can carry in bars why not anywhere else?
Might as well let guns into the bleachers in Yankee Stadium and Fenway Park -- people would be much politer to each other and the players. (Isn't that the argument?)
