Texas would allow people to carry concealed handguns on college campuses under a measure given preliminary approval by the state Senate, just a day after it passed a proposal allowing open carry of guns almost anywhere in the state.
Panned by most student groups and key leaders of Texas' top colleges — including a retired Navy SEAL who led the raid to kill Osama Bin Laden before becoming the University of Texas' new chancellor — the "campus carry" bill nonetheless was strongly supported by gun rights groups and the Senate's Republican majority. It sailed through on a 20-11 party line vote. |

Yes. It most certainly SHOULD.
The facts are these:
On all the campuses in the seven states that allow licensed carry at colleges, there have been no problems whatsoever pursuant to that policy. None. No drunken frat party shootouts, no threats or shootings of professors by disgruntled students, no escalation of fistfights, no sexual assaults, no rapes, no robberies, no muggings, no NOTHING. There hasn't been ONE INSTANCE of any of the dire prognostications opponents continually bleat.
On the other hand, in the rest of the states (i.e. that ban carry at colleges), violent crime abounds on and around college campuses.
Yet opponents, in fits of paranoid, emotionally-charged blindness, are incapable of seeing it. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
