VMI has chosen to trample on cadet's 2nd amendment rights. If we cant trust our future military leaders with weapons, who can we trust?

Very sad day for me and other VMI alumni. I plan to contact Colonel Curtis ( listed above) to express my displeasure.

Same as the US military. No firearms on base unless issued or personal firearms checked in and stored.

As I recall, we counted rounds when issued and returned, as well.

It didn't used to be that way, even up to the '80s. But it's that way now.

How times have changed. I remember during my days at the Academy (a different one) that if we DIDN’T have our issued M-1 or M-14 in our hands or in our barracks room locker, the S would definitely HTF.

And upperclassmen could also have personally owned firearms in their rooms as well.

I don’t see VMI trampling on anyone’s rights. The students who attend VMI are voluntarily giving up their rights. They can also choose not to go there for an education.

It seems that someone at VMI rented a DVD of the old movie Taps and panicked.
