That is the point of the bill.

Why should we not be able to defend ourselves in these locations? You should read Mr. Cotton's opinion piece on this bill on the Texas Firearm Coalition website - https://www.texasfirearmscoalition.com/ ... ry-conduct" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It is silly to disarm when going to renew my car tags just because a JP court is located in the same building. It was silly to disarm to go into the local Sheriff Posse building when I went there to vote. If "municipal park and recreational patrolmen and security officers" can carry in these off limit areas, why can't Texas CHL license holders?

Zero. Guaranteed.

I disagree, small colleges and universities may allow CC. I know Tarleton State University in Stephenville, my alma mater and the school both of my kids currently attend, would be in favor of at least having the discussion. Sure, they have a Humanities department that would be anti, but overall it is a very conservative school from the top down.

I would also assume Texas A&M would have a very good discussion within the student body and administration about allowing CC on campus. UT, UH, and many of the big private schools like TCU, SMU and Baylor - not so much.

Just my opinion - although a small step, a step in the right direction none the less.

ETA - If HB3218 passes, this bill won't matter anyway.
