I can tell you that faculty are different, but the rules _still_ apply to them. You posted nothing with your link, as all it stated was that the policy in that link doesn't apply to faculty. This doesn't mean faculty can carry guns, though one could read it that way. Faculty, being the chosen ones, have their own "I'm special" book of rules and regulations.
Here is the relevant link for Non-Tenure-Track folks:

Page 45, #13. I will say that it is vague, but the part that state: "...possession or display of any frearm on university property frequented by the public, except, in the course of an authorized activity..." is a pretty blanket statement. One would argue "Well, a profs office isn't "frequented by the public" and they would be correct, but the parking lots they park in, the sidewalks they use to walk to their office, and the building hallways, staircases, and elevators are. To me, this is pretty much a blanket ban.
The full-time academic handbook is even more restrictive:

Page 60, #14 and #15 (#15 should be made more well known. I am shocked by it actually. Even going onto this website to bump your classified ad could fall into the category.).
"14. Possession of any weapon or potential weapon on any university property contrary to law or university policy; possession or display of any frearm on university property, except in the course of an authorized activity.
15. Sale of any frearms from university property or using university facilities, including through computer and telephone accounts; intentional possession of a dangerous article or substance as a potential weapon."

"13. Possession of firearms or other weapons on university property contrary to law; possession or display of any firearm on university property frequented by the public, except, in the course of an authorized activity, possession of weapons in residence halls on university property in violation of residence hall rules; and intentional possession on university property of a dangerous article or substance as a potential weapon."
The above is actually part of the student code of conduct, which the powers that be adopted as their own rules. I will give them a for this, as they are basically stating that if we apply these rules to students, they should apply to us as well.
Trust me, faculty can't have guns on campus just like the other employees and students. A full-time prof, back in 1997 quasi-admitted that she carried a gun to campus. She said that she had recently received a priority e-mail from the dean or chair of her school/department which stated that the gun ban includes faculty blah blah blah. She said she replied back with a one word response: "Riveting." We all got a good laugh and then she looked at her big purse, which was facing her and open wide, and pushed the opening shut. Again, we all laughed.
