Texas to allow students and professors to carry firearms - Page 6

Having a concealed carry permit in no way precludes someone from seeking higher education though actually exercising it, on school grounds, may. The gun isn't grafted to your body.

95% of college parties are off campus so they can already carry them there if they wanted to. Yet, young people are the retarded ones.

To me at least that potential problem hasn't appeared to be an issue.

Agreed

There are 'some' good points being brought up by the "don't think it's a good idea" crowd but overall since you first have to be 21 to even obtain the permit...this will rule out most college kids from carrying concealed anyway.

Weren't you a student just about 2 years ago?

Like has been posted already, having to be 21 to get your CHL means the vast majority of students carrying will be Seniors and grad students.

Hopefully we can get the parking lot bill passed as well.

If we are looking at just shear death numbers it is a bad idea. If we are looking at reducing the "30 people killed by a lone gunman" in place of 45 separate shootings, then yes.

Well if she's that upset and willing to kill him I think she could/would still do it. She could still buy a gun without the permit...it may just be sitting at home in a drawer instead of her pocketbook. I don't see how this has anything to do with a conceal carry permit.

Correct. You can have a case of beer consumed and still legally carry your weapon.

Now, should you need to use that weapon your chances of justifying it with a .20 BAC is going to be difficult, to say the least.
