Guns on campus
Would you want your son or daughter to go to a college where it is legal to possess a loaded gun in a dorm room? If not, you may want to think twice about sending your child to school in Texas.
A bill under consideration in the state Senate, S. B. 182, would require all public colleges and universities to allow holders of a concealed handgun license to carry loaded weapons on campus.
The International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators has registered its opposition to legalizing concealed carry on campus. So have national associations of student affairs administrators, campus housing officers and so on. But if S. B. 182 passes, all public colleges and universities in Texas will have to allow CHL holders to carry loaded guns. Even in dorms.
