That's true but I'm comparing the school with other like schools in Texas.

Well, I was referring to the activities off of campus. A few years ago the criminal courts in Stephenville were backed up for months, almost years.

A lot of kids in my high school class went to Tarleton and out of that group, there were always incidents, mainly fistfights that were never reported to the police. It was like the kids I knew who went there wanted to maintain their high school status quo. Just seemed like there were more arguments and fights there than the other universities that my other classmates went to.

I just think if someone is picking a school with safety in mind, it would probably be a good idea to find one that has less incidents first before picking one that is gun friendly. But since the prohibition of guns in Texas classrooms in universal, the latter is moot.

I'd avoid Tarleton. I've had friends that went there and there was way too many altercations up there for a university. Basically seemed like high school all over again.

I think it would be better to find a school with less of a chance of violence than to bring a handgun into a fistfight.

I don't think so; I believe the law prohibits INSIDE of the buildings and not the parking lot. Someone else more familiar can chime in.

My fear with leaving a firearm in the parking lot is with the vehicle break-ins.
