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 |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
