I know recently concealed carry on all NC greenways is permitted but I ran into a scenario this weekend that made this not so clear.

I was riding my bike on the Salem Creek greenway in Winston Salem yesterday, without a pistol, and part of the greenway is closed due to construction and there is a detour which I take. On my way back I see a sign that states no weapons are allowed on the campus of Winston Salem State University, apparently the detour utilizes part of the WSSU campus.

If someone were to be stopped by a LEO going the other way where there was no signage indicating they were n a college campus what would the result be? I think this is ambiguous as best and would cost the average Joe considerable legal fees.

If this someone was on a bicycle, they would likely be charged with possession of a weapon on school property, since there would be no way to possess the weapon in a container inside a locked vehicle. It would then be up to this someone to convince the court that a reasonable person would have had no way of knowing it was school property.

Sticky situation.

Sticky indeed. I wonder how with this being an offical greenway detour and cc being allowed on a greenway which law applies? I am certainly not going to be the test case.

Now that I think about this could have been sticky for anyone in a car prior to the recent change.
