Vanderbilt campus firearms policy

Submitted by jbr on Sun, 2024/08/11 - 3:21pm.

University Policy prohibits anyone other than on duty police officers from possessing firearms on campus. Vanderbilt University also does not permit storage of recreational sporting/hunting equipment such as Archery equipment inside the residential facilities on campus. Vanderbilt University Police Department provides students with a lawful means of storage on campus, for firearms and other sporting/hunting equipment.

I wonder if campuses check outside contractors for weapons?

These people are whack jobs advocating s total saturatiuon gun policy, the same policy Jacobs instituted with covid. Local children will die as a result of this current propaganda campaign, again. As a community, we have to decide just how many people we are willing to kill to institute Glenn Jacobs social policies.

Yikes! Would appreciate it if the area didn't attract so many gun 9wners.

Anyone who has lived here over fifty years was always aware that everybody, or at least damn near everybody, was armed. What's changed is Jacobs screaming that everybody should wave their guns and harass the general population. People need to learn to keep their guns put up and to act like adults, like us boomers used to do.
