Rules About Handguns in Dorm Rooms

Students living on campus who are LTC holders and wish to store a handgun in their assigned room must provide their own safe, and it must be one that was designed and manufactured specifically for the purpose of safe handgun storage.

• These individuals may not provide access to their safe to anyone else.
• Other rules about the storing of handguns in dorm rooms will be found in the 2016-2017 revisions of the Residential Living and Learning Guidebook and Student Handbook once they become available.
