In about a week I am moving into an apartment with 3 roommates. I'm a college student and it's one of those just-off-campus apartment complexes. Common kitchen and living room and separate bedrooms and bathrooms.
I plan on bringing my S&W 642 with me so I can conceal carry when I'm not on campus (victim disarmament zone) and have something around just in case someone breaks in or something like that (which is very unlikely but possible).
Since I will not be able to bring my gun on campus I will need to leave it in my room. I was thinking I would just hide it locked up in my room and leave the ammo for it in my car, that way if someone somehow comes across it at least they won't have a loaded gun. I also plan on NEVER telling ANYONE about the gun EVER.
I know that in general it's a bad idea to have firearms in a college roommate situation but I really want to be able to conceal carry. The city has a moderately high crime rate and while the school is nice, it is located in a relatively bad part of town. Does anyone have any advice on how I can do this safely?
