Texas Senate approves guns in college classrooms

[rankandfile]

Couldn't pass it on its own, so they attached it to the higher education funding bill.

Not law, yet. The TX House has to weigh in.

The governor's pretty fired up about it.



Put that thing down before you hurt somebody...geez.

I carried a gun in my backpack in college. Unloaded. In a case. With no ammo. When I was going from class directly to shooting practice. In the 1970's.

Yes, I must be a defacto mass murderer wannabe.

I'm sure you're who they had in mind when they wrote the bill

In fairness, i believe the proposed Texas legislation would allow permitted gun owners to carry concealed, loaded weapons on their persons in the classroom.

One more reason to cut class.

Or go to class, if you believe that a well-armed society is a polite society, or some such...

So they have approved a bill that (statistically) would most likely allow Texans to shoot (perhaps accidently ) fellows Texans ?

What were the arguments against it ?

I am still waiting for the shootouts in traffic jams by concealed carry people.
