From the Washington and Lee University Off-Campus Housing Guide:
At night, if you think you hear someone breaking in, leave safely if you can, then call police. If you can't leave, lock yourself in a room with a phone and call police. If an intruder is in your room, pretend you are asleep. [Ed note: And if you're being raped, pretend you're enjoying it.]NO NO NO! It is your duty to resist any and all attacks. You stand a much better chance doing everything you can to get away.
And of course whatever you do, don't buy a gun:
Guns are responsible for many accidental deaths in the home every year. Think carefully before buying a gun. If you do own one, learn how to store it and use it safely. Also check the provisions of your lease, because some landlords prohibit firearms.Of all the places I've lived, I've never seen a landlord try to prohibit gun ownership. Even if it were legal, it would open the landlord up to all sorts of legal liability. If my landlord prevented me from defending myself and I was robbed, he'd be the first one sued.

"Guns are responsible for many accidental deaths in the home every year."
They should be more concerned with students drowning in their bathtub or tripping on the stairs, both of which are far more likely to happen than being accidently shot.
Robert E. Lee must be rolling over in his grave now that his old school is being run by a bunch of wimps.
Posted by: Yosemite Sam at August 2, 2005 6:38 AMI would sue the shit out of any land lord that even hinted that I may be kicked out of my apartment simply because I exercised my legal, constitutionally protected right to be armed. I wouldn't attend this school simply because they wrote that, although, I doubt I'll ever find a "pro-gun" college or university to attend.
"Pretend you're asleep?!" I think they meant "Pretend you're a Sheep."
Wake up Neo...
