A request from the cityfolk

[james1997bond]

Ok James, I’m very familiar with the downstate Ph.D. routine so let me just say you’re a grown-ass man with a degree now. You could live off-campus or if that’s not financially doable at your school you could rent a storage unit off-campus and keep your guns in it. Problem solved.

Yeah I'm going to move off campus after my first year; but i'm stuck there for the first. What is this storage unit thing you speak of? that sounds interesting.

AFAIK, most storage units don't want you to store guns there and it probably wouldn't be a good idea either. Gun owner should have custody and control over their own gun IMO. Yours may vary.

 

[BDinPutnam]

Done.

Good run, kid.

Maybe LI is different but upstate there is no such fine print. Ever watch Storage Wars? It’s not exactly uncommon to stow firearms.

How exactly is it any different to store your guns in a locked storage unit you are leasing than in an apartment you are leasing (or own)? My storage unit has keypad limited entry, camera surveillance, gates, and a padlock secured roll up door. That’s a hell of a lot more security than my home.

Am I to assume that you and all other forum members keep all of your guns on your person at all times?

You’ve lived in NYC for four years and you’ve never heard of self-storage?

I. Purpose

• 
  A. The rules of the State University Board of Trustees (8 NYCRR §535.3 (j)) prohibit the possession of air guns, firearms, rifles, shotguns or other weapons on a state-operated campus of the University without the written authorization of the campus president.
  
  B. The rules of the State University Board of Trustees (8 NYCRR §590) govern the possession, use and storage of air guns, firearms, rifles, shotguns and weapons on the premises of state-operated campuses of the University.

II. Possession and Storage of Firearms Owned by Students, Faculty and Staff

• 
  A. No air gun, firearm, rifle, shotgun or weapon may be possessed, stored, discharged, loaded or used on property owned or leased by the University unless the person in possession of said device meets the requirements set forth in these administrative procedures. The president of each state-operated campus may, in accordance with the provisions of section 590.3 of the rules of the University Board of Trustees (8 NYCRR § 590.3), grant written authorization to students, faculty, staff or other persons to permit the possession and storage of air guns, firearms, rifles, shotguns and weapons on campus only where such possession is required or permitted for the purposes specified in said section. When authorized, they will be stored unloaded in an appropriately secured area within or under the control of the University police department of each state-operated campus. Such authorization may be rescinded at any time but in no event shall it be valid for longer than one academic year with the exception defined in section III (B) below.
  
  B. Air guns, firearms, rifles, shotguns and weapons that are evidence in a criminal case may be stored in a properly secured evidence locker or secured area until disposal or return of said item is permitted by the local prosecutor or court.
  
  C. When authorized for storage on campus, air guns, firearms, rifles, shotguns and weapons shall be tagged. Such tag will bear the owner's name, address and telephone number (both home and campus), date of storage and any other pertinent information deemed necessary by the campus chief of university police.
  
  D. Only the owner of an air gun, firearm, rifle, shotgun or weapon, upon presentation of proper identification, may obtain possession of the firearm after it is stored.
  
  E. No air gun, firearm, rifle, shotgun or weapon authorized on campus under Section 590.3 of the rules of the University Board of Trustees (8 NYCRR § 590.3) may be used, loaded, fired or discharged on campus except under the immediate supervision of a qualified instructor approved by the University and under a program specifically authorized by SUNY. This prohibition shall not apply to forestry lands under the supervision of the University College of Environmental Science and Forestry or farmland under the control of the University College of Technology at Alfred.

Check if your school allows this. From my interpretation this seems like a campus to campus policy. If you're going to Stony Brook (only SUNY school on LI with a Ph.D for Chemistry I know of) carrying on campus is prohibited, but I can't find anything about storage in a dorm. If it has to be stored with University Police, I can't imagine that shit would ever go missing - far more secure than your dorm room or a storage facility with a minimum wage rent-a-cop whose Netflixing through his shift.

Yeah the way this stuff is written, it seems like they leave it up to the public safety department of every school to figure it out on their own. I can't imagine the President ever giving me permission for this, as they tend to be the bleeding heart types. I guess it obviously can't hurt to ask. I'll see what public safety has to say about it first.

Definitely can't hurt to ask. The worst they can tell you is "no"

And then put you on "double secret probation".
