"The Texas Senate voted Wednesday afternoon to approve so-called "campus carry" the second piece of major gun legislation the body has given the go-ahead this week. In addition to being able to carry their handgun in hip-holster, gun owners with concealed handgun licences have now been approved by the senate to carry their guns onto Texas' public college campus, which have previously been gun-free zones. Private schools retain the autonomy to determine if they want firearms on campus or not. Brian Birdwell, the Granbury Republican who authored the bill, insisted under repeated questioning from Democrats that he wasn't privileging those kids getting private educations, he was just respecting their schools' property rights. Exempting Baylor had nothing to do with its being one of the largest private employers in Birdwell's district, of course." - Jessie

What can go wrong? - Anika

Yeah I'm not sure how this would not trigger a lockdown every time some idiot with a weapon came on campus. - Jessie

If it's like Utah, first shots fired will be some boob shooting themselves in the leg/foot. - Jennifer Dittrich

Hopefully after that happens, someone will decide to repeal this before anyone else gets hurt. - Jessie
