In the first place, my comment was not a suggestion of what they should do, rather an attempt to ridicule with an absurdity, a technique I employ with gratifying results elsewhere but which seems to seldom catch on here.

In the first place, I think CHL ought to be campus wide, no restriction whatsoever. In the second place, I would recoil in horror at giving individual instructors that kind of discretion, which makes a pig's breakfast out of the intent of the statute. For this reason alone, I wouldn't be surprised if some enterprising, creative nitwit at some college doesn't think this would be a good idea.

That and it is my belief that doing so will have the effect of banning on the entire campus, specifically for the reason that carriers would have to return to their car to disarm and re-arm several times a day which may not be possible with class schedules.

I hope I'm right, but I am no lawyer.

Why not?

I drove into New Braunfels for the gun show this morning. At the entrance, there was a 30.06 notice on an easel. Easily set up, easily removed.

A college could make it instructor option. Each class could be open or closed, depending on the whim of the instructor, sometimes yes, sometimes no. AFAIK, the sign need not be engraved in marble at the doorway for all eternity.
