The attorney general of Texas said late Monday that banning
guns in college dorm rooms violates the state's newly approved "campus
carry" law,...
"If a public institution of higher education placed a
prohibition on handguns in the institution's campus residential facilities, it
would effectively prohibit license holders in those facilities from carrying
concealed handguns on campus, in violation of the express terms of Senate Bill
11,"
Sure it may sound crazy to you, Don't worry though. It's not open carry, it's concealed carry.
“When people hear campus carry, they’re like ‘Oh my gosh,
guns are going to be all over campus’ but it’s really not going to
be that way,” Christopher Lee says. He’s student body vice president at
UNT in Denton. “Students aren’t just going to be walking around with guns on
their hips.”
Oh my gosh indeed.
Only those 21 years and older can get a license.
Thank God for that anyway. In fairness:
The UNT task force studied Colorado, the state with the most
years of campus carry law – 12. There had been few campus gun incidents there.
I'll be thankful to be watching from the relative safety of upstate NY.
