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 |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
