GOT TO BE MORE

STEVENS POINT, Wis. -- About 115 University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point students store weapons such as guns, knives, and bows and arrows on campus at a secure site controlled by campus police. With deer hunting season this week, wildlife
assistant professor Bob Holsman said the school's system should serve as a model for any university. The students' weapons are stored in a room called the armory at the campus police station. Each student registers his or her weapon and gets a lock. Students present their keys and identification cards to access their weapons. UW-Stevens Point Police Chief Bill Rowe said that, once the weapon is checked out, a student must immediately leave the campus. The police station is on the edge of campus adjacent to a public street. The campus police chief said that, although students aren't evaluated for psychological fitness, he's comfortable with the registration procedure because students who come to the Police Department already are exhibiting strong signs of responsibility.Student firearm storage is also available at UW System campuses in Madison, Milwaukee, Eau Claire, La Crosse and Superior, but officials said the site at Stevens Point is by far the most heavily used.


I think this is a terrible idea ,not safe at all .
