Students and faculty within the university system are divided. The new law law has generated protests, the retirement of a Texas A&M professor and threats of punishments against educators who try to ban firearms from their classrooms.
But despite what pro-gun supporters term hysteria about a law that already stands in several states, the campus carry law is only going to apply to a small portion of the student population in Texas. It’s likely to keep parents, faculty and students on edge, but experts say the campus carry law could turn out to be a non-event, at least if history provides any guidance. |

| They are on edge cause liberal myths have their heads on the chopping block. Soon, students will be accustomed to their classmates taking responsibility for self defense and being armed. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
