Kyrian_Zenda Posted October 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 I've looked in the Guide, and i didn't notice it before, but it does say they're not allowed. Pretty hidden though They were in a bag at the foot of my bed, all three of em. They overlooked my Nerf gun in the cupboard though. Link to post Share on other sites
Carrion Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 and how may i ask did they enter the room? without prior written perrmission they cant enter with out you being present. also they can not enter with your presence without you permission also i belive that they can not remove your possesion unless they are a H and S hazzard or illegal Link to post Share on other sites
Kyrian_Zenda Posted October 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 They woke me up, actually, and I let them in. I'm in the wrong, just wanted to rant about it. Plus, it's against university rules to have em, apparently. The porter was alright about it, he used to deal in em, apparently, but the Proctor was scared of em, it was pretty funny now I think about it. He kept asking me and the porter to check and make sure the guns were safe, even after i told him I never keep em loaded. But they're not keeping them, they've just confiscated them until they can be removed from the university, ie. I can get someone to pick em up. Oh, and learn to spell Link to post Share on other sites
Lance Jackass Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 So how did they find them? I take it you got them out to explain your sport to some of your mates and word got about? This is one of the reasons i don't like the idea of uni. You either start an "airsoft soc" or probably only play during the holidays. Suckzorx Link to post Share on other sites
Kyrian_Zenda Posted October 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Yeh, I warned a couple of the people around me that I had them so they wouldn't freak if they were in my room and saw em. I think of the girls down the other end objected to me having em (she's one of those elitest types, OMG DRINK, NO, I MUST WORK WORK WORK WORK WORK...you get the picture), and called the Proctor. And yes, it does Suckzorx Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Pearson Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Either way, they cannot permanently confiscate them from you - if they do, thats theft. If they do not give them back to you, call the Police and inform them you have had items belonging to you stolen by the University staff. Make sure you inform the University staff of the legal consequences if items are not returned. Link to post Share on other sites
Vice Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 I have mine in locked gun cases in my wardrobe Will only ever take them out when im alone and locked in my room, no one's gonna take my collection. Did they come into your room and find them? If you kept them in bags they have no right without a warrant to search your belongings, and therefore cannot know you have them if they are in bags.

CobaltSky Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 I'm probably going to go for the locked hard-case approach and not tell anybody that I have them in my room unless they are into airsoft as well. Might get my own accomodation anyway so then they'll be no worries about what I do. Link to post Share on other sites
joeking27 Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 How about, leave your airsoft stuff at home, so your uni dont have a reason to kick you out? Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltSky Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Depends how far away from home your Uni is. It would make planning a skirmish a lot of work if you have to travel halfway across the country just to pick you your guns. Link to post Share on other sites
gazchap Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Or you could just ask your University staff if there are any secure storage places that you can store your airsoft replicas on campus. If there aren't any on campus they may be able to recommend a self-storage place. Keeping them on campus is just asking for trouble. Link to post Share on other sites
Kyrian_Zenda Posted October 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 I come from London, and Uni is in Chester, like a 4 and a half hour drive away, so no possibility of leaving em at home. Plus, Alpha55 is just up the way from Chester and i was planning on going there. I had a bad year last year, didn't make any real friends and i was hoping this would help, maybe even start an airsoft society. And there aren't any secure storage areas on campus, and it does say in the rules, hidden somewhere, that no replica weapons or ammunition are allowed on campus. Also, i can't afford to keep things in an off-site storage facility either. And I just want to point out that this is a bitching thread for me. No more advice please. Just pat me back, make me feel better kplzthxbai Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure you'll get your toy guns back from the nasty man soon enough. *pat*<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually, all I need do is go home. BUT! The disciplinary didn't go how I expected, so I'm up for the formal thing, so I may end up being suspended. But I doubt it. Now i think it's time I went into town, got something to eat and buy meself something. Like a DVD or something. Any suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites
