AUSTIN, Texas - Concealed handguns would be mostly barred from University of Texas dormitories but not from classrooms under recommendations presented to the school president.
UT President Greg Fenves will review the recommendations, offered Thursday, before a final vote of approval by university regents.
Texas state lawmakers are requiring public universities to allow concealed handgun license holders to bring weapons on campus starting Aug. 1, 2016.
The panel that developed the recommendations says its members don't want guns in classrooms, but a ban would violate Texas law.
Submitters note: It would seem to me that a ban on guns in dormitories would also violate Texas law. |

| I'm with the submitter on this. The entire dormitory system cannot be a specific sensitive high security area. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
