On June 1, 2015 Republican governor Greg Abbott signed into action the “campus carry” law. Effective in August 2016, this law will allow licensed college students over the age of 21 to carry a concealed handgun throughout public university campuses in Texas. This law was promoted on the platform that giving the students the ability to carry their own concealed handgun on campus, will promote student safety. |

"In such cases, it’s better to try to talk down the shooter than to have a gun on scene to potentially trigger him."
Yeah. That worked so well at Sandy Hook and Roseburg.
Another sky is falling liberal living in fantasy land. Big on feelings and short on facts.
Why has campus carry not caused the problems he envisions in the several states that allow campus carry?

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
