Campus carry up date

This is a copy of an E mail from Texas State Rifle Association we won :thewave

Dear TSRA members, Family and Friends

Yesterday in Austin the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas agreed with Attorney General Ken Paxton and denied a request by three University of Texas professors to block enforcement of Texas' campus carry law. The Court concluded the professors were unlikely to prevail in their lawsuit and a preliminary injunction was not issued.

Attorney General Ken Paxton released the following statement:

"I am pleased, but not surprised, that the court denied the request to block Texas' campus carry law. There is no legal justification to deny licensed, law-abiding citizens on campus the same measure of personal protection they are entitled to elsewhere in Texas. The right to keep and bear arms is guaranteed for all Americans, including students, and I will always stand ready to protect that right."

TSRA members applaud the work of our Texas Attorney General and his capable staff.

Without a doubt this is the first round of attack on a law that took 4 legislative sessions to pass and was a joint project between the House and the Senate.

Virginia Tech was the catalyst which drove the securing of this form of individual personal protection on Texas college and university campuses.

The judge only denied the preliminary injunction. We won a small battle, but not the war... yet.
Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence. - John Adams
