Texas And Carrying on Campus Set To Pass

Texas is preparing to give college students and professors the right to carry guns on campus, adding momentum to a national campaign to open this part of society to firearms.


More than half of the members of the Texas House are co-authors
of a measure directing universities to allow concealed handguns.

The Senate passed a similar bill in 2009 and is expected to do so
again.

Republican Gov. Rick Perry, who sometimes packs a pistol when he
jogs, says he supports the idea.

Texas is one of about a dozen states considering the idea and
has become a prime battleground because of its gun culture and
size.

It would become the second state, following Utah, to pass such a broad-based law.

Colorado gives colleges the option, and several allow handguns.

Wow!
Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

I used to be open minded but my brain kept falling out.

Good for them.  I wish MS would follow suit.  It is annoying, to say the least, not to be able to carry on campus.
