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 |
| 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]. |
