Your first paragraph is a gimme. The rest of your post is just another chapter about your life as a truck driver and totally irrevelant to the poster's topic. A plethora of your posts contain a small amount of on topic material and rest is just a long winded off topic adventure story.

Well, to be honest he was way more helpful than you were. And hey, who doesn't like a good adventure story?

There are designated forums within OC.org if one wishes to post adventure/fairy tales. Educate yourself on the OC.org forum rules if you wish to find the appropriate forums.

That is a great question. All I could find online is this

"Possession of any type of guns or rifles on University property is not permitted. If you do have a weapon for hunting and live in a residential hall, it must be stored at the UWSP Armory. The armory is located at the Protective Services Office, George Stien Building, 346-3456."

It seems to me that I would be best off leaving defense guns at home and just carry a blade of some sort. The last thing I want to do is to ruin my career before it even starts. I really appreciate the help from all of you. This forum is great and I'm learning a lot.

'Carry a blade'...Uh, do you know how to protect yourself with bladed weapons? I seriously doubt it. My advice is follow the "3S" rule and avoid stupid places, people and things, don't go to bars, and excuse yourself and walk away from trouble. Take up jogging and middle distance running, in fact. Physical fitness will benefit you more than standing and trying to get stabbed.

Is the campus a hotbed of muggings and rapery? If not, drop the plan to be 'Rambo 2.0' and do as FI advised. Stay far away from trouble, get fit and develop your cardio, take the CCW classes and maybe even a stick fighting class if you just have to be pugnacious.

Good luck and study hard!

Off topic and irrelevant to the OP.

He posted under Wisconsin, which is under STORIES of the states, which is under the main Forum heading.

Your perception of the words "stories from the states" is somewhat amusing. You also possibly should educate yourself on the forum rules. Particularly #8.

I appreciate your concern for the purity of this thread but it seems to me your the one that's causing an off topic discussion by trying to stir the pot on an otherwise perfectly fine discussion.

You would think for a man in his 60s, he would have better things to do (like enjoy life outside of 4 walls, or maybe he should just sign up for some padded walls?) than to troll people on the internet.

The girlfriend is wise. Underage consumption of alcohol is unlawful and possibly could cause problems with your quest to pursue a career in law enforcement. That is if your "giving up drinking" includes beverages containing alcohol.
