Another armed robbery on the UWM campus last night. 7:07 pm! I hate the fact that I take the bus to campus, but because I can't take my weapon in to the buildings, I am forced to leave it at home. So not only am I unarmed in class, but also on the hour bus ride each way going to and from school. Especially with all the bus violence lately and armed robberies around campus. I don't take my car because there isn't parking available nearby for my long days on campus. I'm thinking I should weld a gun safe to a bicycle frame that I can leave locked in a bike rack outside my building.....
