I would like to point out that 80% of our campus students are 21 years of age or older. You graduate high school by 18 or 19, and spend 4 years in college minimum. 18+ 4 = 22. And if you also account for the vast number of 18-20 year olds who drop out the first year it gives you a huge number of older students. Not to mention the tons of graduate students we have working on Master's degrees, and PHD's.
Texas law also states that you MUST be in control of the firearm at all times. I don't know of many party students who would burn $150+ of beer money on a CCW permit, training, ammo, etc. Not to mention the price of the firearm itself.
That being said I have worked for a campus police department, and I wouldn't trust them to protect a bicycle wheel from a dog peeing on it. If a person has a CCW they have at the very least passed a modest background check and taken a class in this state.
I am for it.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
