Texas is one of the states where "campus-carry" is under
serious consideration. Both the state House and the state
Senate have put forth legislation, and the Governor indicates
that he will sign any final legislation put forth by the state
Congress.
But, Texas' concealed carry law stipulates that one must be 21
years of age (or 18 if in the military, in which case one would not
likely be on a college campus), have passed a background check,
have taken a course and demonstrated firearm safety and proficiency,
and be considered "of sound mind" in order to qualify.
So, we're not talking about the typical freshman or sophomore
living in campus housing. We're talking primarily about upper classmen,
graduate students, and faculty who have spent the time, effort, and
money it takes to become a registered law-abiding, concealed-carry-
license-holder.
Personally, I don't have a problem with that.
