this bill just never made sense to me. While many proponents claim that a high proportion of college students are over 21, I simply don't see that population as being a significant percentage.TrueTexan wrote:Texas campus carry bill passed the legislature and is on its way to the governor.
http://abc13.com/news/texas-legislature ... es/758738/AUSTIN, TX --
The Texas Legislature has approved allowing license holders to carry concealed handguns on public college campuses - but included a caveat that lets college presidents designate "gun-free zones."
The House voted 98-47 on Sunday to approve the measure, sending it to Gov. Greg Abbott to be signed into law.
The so-called "campus carry" bill was a priority for gun rights activists, even though top universities statewide opposed it.
Both chambers previously passed their own versions of the bill, and a weekend agreement between House and Senate negotiators set up final approval.
Opponents won the concession of gun-free zones, though college presidents won't be able to ban handguns on entire campuses.
In order to obtain a concealed-carry license, though, Texans must be 21 - meaning many college students won't qualify.

He also throws the Charleston shooting into the mix.There was plenty of shooting that day in the streets of Dallas where Boulware was shot dead by a police sniper and also later at Red’s Indoor Range in Pflugerville, Texas, where Abbott, relishing the added liberty he said he was bestowing upon the citizens of Texas, did some target shooting of his own after signing the bills.
1. We would all already be dead.How the killer acquired the gun is not clear yet. He apparently received it as a present on his 21st birthday. But the legality of the acquisition of this firearm is almost beside the point in a nation of 300-million guns.
Firearms in America can pass on from person to person like an Ebola virus in Africa and like the Ebola virus the ultimate consequence, death, follows closely behind.
It's bad. I'll walk you through it.DispositionMatrix wrote:2. What does that have to do with campus carry?
University of Texas professors are revolting. In response to the passage of campus carry legislation SB 11 prohibiting state-funded institutions of higher learning from banning legal concealed carry as of August 16, 2016, UT teaching staff are adding their names to a Google document entitled 160+ UT PROFESSORS REFUSE GUNS IN THEIR CLASSROOMS. Refuse how, you ask? Now there’s a question. One which UT history prof and co-creator of the doc Dr. Joan Neuberger doesn’t answer. To be fair . . .
the student journos at dailytexansonline.com didn’t ask Dr. Neuberger if she and/or her anti-gun colleagues had any plans for civil disobedience in the face of Americans’ lawfully exercising their civil rights. But the paper kinda sorta addressed the “what next?” issue with a UT PR lecturer (of all things).
With concealed carry how would they know. Good luck. I'd concentrate on education.DispositionMatrix wrote:http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2015/0 ... classroom/University of Texas professors are revolting.

This just reinforces the notion that most people are really delusional about danger. We'd rather stick our heads in the sand than consider we are always in danger of somebody attacking us. Disgusting.“It’s hard to imagine what I will do if a student walks into my class with a concealed weapon,” Junker said in an email. “Maybe I wouldn’t be able to tell. Maybe that is the worst part: never knowing if a student has a gun but having to assume that someone does.”
http://www.alternet.org/culture/student ... ant-dildosTexas Governor Greg Abbott recently passed the “campus carry” law, which will allow gun license owners to carry concealed firearms throughout public university campuses. The law will go into effect starting August 2016, and many believe it will make universities less safe. Students at the University of Texas at Austin are protesting this law in a peaceful yet subversive way- by openly carrying sex toys to class.
"You're carrying a gun to class? Yeah well I'm carrying a HUGE DILDO.
Just about as effective at protecting us from sociopathic shooters, but much safer for recreational play.
The State of Texas has decided that it is not at all obnoxious to allow deadly concealed weapons in classrooms, however it DOES have strict rules about free sexual expression, to protect your innocence. You would receive a citation for taking a DILDO to class before you would get in trouble for taking a gun to class. Heaven forbid the penis,” writes the Campus (DILDO) Carry Page, which was set up by Jessica Jin.
Over 4,000 students have RSVP’d to the “strap-in” event, which will take place next summer when the “campus carry” law goes into effect. Protesters will challenge gun laws by "strapping gigantic swinging dildos to our backpacks." Though participants are encouraged to bring their own large dildos, the group has stated they will make an effort to provide extra dildos for the occasion.
