Do colleges allow paintball guns in your dorm room?

[paintballrulzs]

Just curious because I am going to be attending college in a few months and was wondering what most schools have for a policy when it comes to paintball guns and equipment. Thanks

you'd probably have to contact the college about this issue, i'm sure all colleges are different. of course you can always just leave your stuff in your car.

at my school you have to leave it at the campus police station, unless you don't tell anyone like i did. clean it with your door closed. i lived with the RA and he didn't even care. just don't be stupid with it.

What school are you going to? I probably know some people who go there if it's near NH.

I wouldn't risk a paintball gun in a dorm room. Although most of my friends (who are under 21) have alcohol in their dorm rooms, it's a pretty minor violation and most people will overlook it, but if something that looks like a gun is found, that's a red flag. So I doubt you'd get permission and I definitely wouldn't risk it.

I agree with moats on this. It is better to just let your RA know and see what he thinks about it. More then likely he will be cool with it and wont care. RAs are ussuallly upper classmen that have alot more work to do then you and you might only them see them in hallways or if you get in trouble. At Menlo they would only do anything if you did something really stupid like set your bed on fire.
Ah the memories. :rofl:

My dorm didn't allow them, but the don't ask don't tell worked fine!

My RA didn't care either, but 1 idiot can get everyone in trouble.

officially at duke it is not allowed. unofficially...as long as i wasnt going to shoot in the hallways my RA had no problem letting me keep it in my room. that said, i would contact your school for the official policy and then talk to your RA at the start of the year for his/her opinion. It is really his/her choice as to whether you're allowed to have it

Angry Man- I am going to Bryant College in Rhode Island.

I worry about keeping it in my car though because people cars get broken into all the time so I would hate to be in providence or even in the lot and have that happen.

[Z-man]

Same. I technically was not allowed but if I keep it hidden away and did not go dryfireing it in the room and only played off at fields it was cool.

They told me at UConn that it's up to the RA... so, we'll see.

I almost ended up at UCONN. Changed my mind, Dont want such a big school.

I'm at UHart

Hey, I'll be at the U.Hartford. Both our schools, Uconn and UHart both have teams that play at Matt's Outback. I talked to the captain of the team during orientation and he told me it's fine to keep the marker in your room but to tell the RA that you have it. He may be my RA next year so there would definately be no problem...

Most RA's are chill about it, but instead of asking them, ask someone on the team. They would know more and if you do get a horrible and mean RA then your set by asking someone who plays first.

Just my thoughts and ideas.

Hope to see you guys on the field

If it's not allowed, then simply don't risk it.

Even if you're not stupid with it (a rather presumptuous condition), it just gives someone else something to use against you.

Most colleges won't allow it in the rooms, but rarely ever is it enforced. My freshman year my friend lived in the room next to the RA, and every now and then he would dry fire it in the room. nobody seemed to care.

just keep it discreet.
