Carry on campus

tostado22 · March 20, 2011, 08:57 PM

I dont know if this has been posted before but I just read in Stars and Stripes that TX is starting legislation to allow concealed carry on a college campus. I think its about time responsible citizens get more freedom to defend themselves. Hopefully more states follow suite.

I havent searched for a link to a story but Ill post one when I get some more time here.

EDIT:Thanks for the move. I wasnt even sure we had a legal section on here

If you go to http://www.texaschlforum.com/viewforum.php?f=70

you can find a discussion and links to TX organizations involved in the issue.

We are holding our breath as there is subltety - the bills made it through the Senate and a House committee but they have to be put on the House calendar. That is the usual blockage point by so-called conservatives, bowing to pressure and business interests, to keep it from passage. Little bit of trickey there.

The bills could have been put on a fast track and that was suggested by the TSRA but Coyote Killin' Perry didn't do that. He did put other issues on it. Hmm?

He does support the bills.
