In reality... if i can carry my G23 in class at TCU... i'll be happy.
I have to admit that I support banning guns in a courtroom. To me that is one of the most emotionally volatile locations you can find.
It is, but lawyers getting shot leaving the courtroom is somewhat of a concern in my line of work. If prosecutors can carry in the courtroom, I certainly should be able to do so also. As with professional sporting events, I'm not as concerned about the courtroom as I am the walk to the car unarmed.

Re: CHL Carry on Colleges

I feel that private schools should not be exempt from campus-carry legislation, as their students face the same threats as students in state-supported schools. However, the political reality is that this will be landmark legislation in Texas and that's code for "this is going to be one heck of a fight!" Making it cover private schools will almost guarantee a loss.

I am a very strong supporter of private property rights when it comes to non-commercial property. Commercial property is already regulated in ways that have far greater impact that a requirement to allow a CHL to be armed.
