One thing piqued my interest: LTC holders living in dorms must purchase or lease a specific gun safe from a specific seller. A quick google of the school's policy confirmed this.
While I understand that not all LTC's live in school housing, but for those that do, isn't this a bit scary that their information is now "out there", even if only a name and address? This, it seems, does in fact create a database that the university says on their site they won't do, i.e. track holders.
Just makes me wonder.
I agree, if they have limited the purchase or lease to one vendor, then it would create a database of sorts at least at the vendor level. But on the other hand, even if they allowed students to purchase or lease a safe from any vendor, then I'm sure there would have to be an approval process, to ensure it met the standards which in turn would provide a list of "safe buyers" My suggestion would be to provide gun safes, in all housing, I'm sure with bulk purchasing it could be affordable, and then everyone would be covered, and those who are not LTC holders could store other valuables. JMHO.
