I wouldn't risk leaving a firearm in a vehicle on a campus or any other parking lot for that matter.

I would be more concerned with the firearm left in the car and the possible theft. A good strong onboard safe that's out of sight. Plus loose lips sink ships - don't tell anyone at school your plans or at the range either. Come and do your thing both places without mention of the other. Chris
Not saying anything doesn't necessarily make it legal.
i wouldn't do it but that's me.

I stand with John Locke.
Rent a gun. Its the only legally safe option I can think of..or store it there.. as mentioned..

Yes, this, exactly. With restrictions, asking for and getting a CCW doesn't really help.
I want a permit to carry almost anywhere at almost anytime, so things like the OP wants to do are legal and easy (well, easier).

I think I will pass on the idea to be safe. Oh well, better safe than sorry

Only you can decide how much risk you are willing to take, and how far you want to test the vagueness of the law, but leaving a handgun in an unattended car in an area where it might get broken into or stolen is more of a risk than I would want to take.
Would the Sig P320 modularity concept expanded to include a pistol caliber carbine require NFA approval? Aren't there drop-in PCC hosts for the Glock 17 (where you pull the barrel and slide)?
Rifles can of course be stored in vehicles, in most parts of Maryland, but handguns generally can not when off of your property.

I am trying to guess where Philoctete is going with that idea.
Is it having a pistol frame, and somthing like a Mechtec carbine unit "Only" , and transporting them as if it were only a somewhat strange looking rifle ? Or transporting said funny looking rifle, AND a pistol top end to re-install once at the range ?
Looking to NFA regulations , a registered lower reciever, with a 16in or longer bbl which also is 26in or longer OAL , would be treateaded as a "normal" rifle, and not need to follow Form .20 or other SBR transport procedures. If you were to posess, or otherwise have made arrangement to posses sub 16in bbl to make use of at your destination, then it is still an SBR .
I don't know if MSP has explicitedly adressed a pistol frame being a component of what is otherwise a rifle, but if not, the above SBR situation would be a starting point in decision making.
Now to get really off the wall , I have been kicking around the idea of sourcing a ( Glock, 1911, whatever) virgin frame/ frame assy thru an 007 FFL , have said 007FFL attach a carbine upper unit, and sell such to mu on a 4473 as a *Rifle* .

Even if your school had a rifle and firearm class, I wouldn't leave a firearm locked in a car on a college campus all day. Especially after leaving a range. There have been occasions of unsavory individuals following people out of the range and burglarizing their vehicles for their weapons.
