| Now that UT officially will allow it, what other major schools allow campus carry? |
|
It looks like there will be a long list of caveats for carrying on the UT campus however:

Especially with Ken Paxton saying that banning students from possessing a pistol in a dorm room expressly prevents some students from being allowed to campus carry. I expect to see a ruling from the courts if this comes out as part of UT's official policy. |

A license holder who carries a semiautomatic handgun on campus must carry it without a chambered round of ammunition. POLICY STATEMENT | NO. 16
The following rules should apply to the concealed carry of handguns in University housing. And my personal fav POLICY STATEMENT | NO. 13
The concealed carry of handguns should be prohibited in areas where the discharge of a firearm might cause great harm, such as laboratories with extremely dangerous chemicals, biologic agents, or explosive agents, and areas with equipment that is incompatible with metallic objects, such as magnetic resonance imaging machines. Finding: Handgun license holders are generally not trained on the safe use of weapons in areas where an accidental or intentional discharge might cause great harm such as laboratories with hazardous chemicals, gases, or biological agents. How often do they think license holders are going to be "discharging their firearms"? Doesn't this moron understand it's a life or dead situation when a license holder fires his/her weapon? |

Takes effect Aug. 1, 2016 for public Universities. Private Universities are the only ones able to opt out. As far as I've heard, all private ones have said they'll opt out. A&M has been biggest proponent on CC. The UT system (UT Austin being their flagship) has been biggest opponent.
There's a professor at UT Austin who has vowed to ban guns in his classroom (in direct contrast to proposed policy) and has said he'll ride it all the way to supreme court if he has to. Additionally, first day of classes at UT Austin, there's a group whose slogan is "cocks, not glocks" that is asking for supporters to affix a dildo to the outside of their backpack in protest to the fact that a firearm can be legally carried in public in Texas, but not a dildo. I think this promotes rape culture. Let me keep my guns, and you won't know I have them on me. They can keep their vile, egregious, deplorable, shocking sex acts out of the virgin, impressionable eye of young innocent college students. 
Lastly, why are ya'll acting so surprised that the UT Austin policies are so restrictive? They have never made any bones about the fact that they all disagree with the law and think guns have no place on campus. They further have stated that they will try and make carrying a gun on campus as difficult as they can, while staying within the confines of the law. They have some brilliant minds there so it is to be expected that they come up with some creative, off the wall ways to try and impose their anti-self defense sentiment upon others. I think that a large part of the reason WHY they were able to come up with these odd, silly rules, is because the LAW itself is very poorly written. I think the law should set forth the restrictions, if any. Not the individual schools. It creates vast confusion if there are totally different rules for every college....think if each business could make their own rules? That, in and of itself, would be a de facto ban because no one would be able to know, understand, and follow the different rules. ESPECIALLY if they were as silly as some of the UT policies! I think the law needs to be re-written to not allow the individual campuses the ability to make policies on where, when, and how you can carry or store. It should be the same across the state! OK, im off my soapbox now. |

I hope the state rejects some of this garbage from clueless liberal Fenves. I would regardless carry chambered. It's not like they would know and/or have the ability to check and see. And my personal fav How often do they think license holders are going to be "discharging their firearms"? Doesn't this moron understand it's a life or dead situation when a license holder fires his/her weapon? One could deduce that someone who would be working in such ares WOULD be trained on how to properly handle and/or act around dangerous chemicals or equipment. But then again these idiots think us gun toters are stupid and can't do anything right. Quoted:

All in all I expect to see a lot of this type BS to get challenged and knocked down because it violates the spirit of the law. |
| I thought it was weird hearing it this week in the media that the president of UT says they will allow OC. Not like he had a choice as it's required by new law. It's been talked about for awhile now about all the restricted areas they were trying to get approved which of course will make it difficult to carry at all if you are a student that goes to various buildings throughout the day or lives in a campus dorm. Of course their answer is you can still keep your firearm in your trunk of your car, which is probably parked nowhere near where you are at on campus. |
and leave us alone in Texas.
