Students react to new gun rule
By John Fulwider
Staff Reporter
Some gun-owning UNL students
do not approve of the campus gun
storage policy passed Saturday by the
NU Board of Regents.
“That was the stupidest thing
they’ve ever done,” said Brian Coulter,
a senior agricultural engineering ma
jor and president of the UNL Rifle
Club, a target-shooting club at the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
The new policy requires students
who live on campus to store their guns
at the UNL Police Department.
Coulter lives in an apartment now
but used to live in the residence halls.
He said the gun storage facilities were
inadequate and not secure when he
lived on campus.
“They were safer under our bed
than in that locker they gave us,” he
said.
Seth Stoddard, an undeclared fresh
man, also disagreed with the policy,
but for different reasons. Stoddard,
who lives on campus, said it was a
matter of convenience.
Although he would have no prob
lem storing his guns at the UNL Pol ice
Department, Stoddard said, he would
rather have the right to store them in
his room.
But he doesn’t have to worry about
the inconvenience. Stoddard stores his
guns in his hometown of Wilbur.
Brian Allen, a graduate student in
manufacturing systems engineering,
said the policy would not have much
effect on those who used a gun for
criminal purposes. Criminals don’t
follow rules and regulations anyway,
he said. -
“It won’t do anything except in
convenience law-abiding gun owners,”
Allen said.
Even then, the policy may end up
affecting few people.
Doug Zatechka, the former uni
versity housing director, said the
highest number of guns registered
and stored on campus during the
past two years was 33. The lowest
number was four.
Zatechka said he thought students
would comply with the policy. The
students he has worked with tend to be
reasonable and willing to follow regu
lations, he said.
