In an ideal world there would never be weapons on a campus. As we saw from Va. Tech, when a loon wants to bring a gun on campus they don't check to see if the rules allow them.
Hope won’t keep a lunatic from shooting unarmed people like fish in a barrel.
Not in my ideal world. Even if I didn't think I needed them to defend myself, since I did not feel that way at the time, I do/did like to hunt and target shoot. No reason I shouldn't be able to keep my tools with me at college, is there?
Oh you might want to provide secure storage, as my campus did (IIRC), back in the dark ages. I didn't live on campus so it wasn't of great concern to me, but I do seem to remember that the students guns were kept at the campus police station, where they were accessible 24/7, since you might need to leave campus at 0'dark thirty for a trip to the duck blind or the deer stand, and you might not get back until well after normal hours upon your return.
