Default Guns on Campus Nears Reality in Texas

It appears that collegians in Texas soon will be able to pack heat on campus. The Texas Senate has passed a bill that will allow handgun license holders to carry concealed guns in college and university buildings.



This Reuters report says the legislation is likely to garner broad support in the Texas House and from Governor Rick Perry, a gun enthusiast.

“My goal this whole time is to put doubt in the mind of the shooter that, ‘Well, maybe I shouldn’t go on that campus and try to take a bunch of kids out,’” Texas senator Jeff Wentworth, the author of the bill, told Reuters.

Utah is the only other state that allows guns on college campuses.
