UT-Austin President Greg Fenves had previously argued that a "chambered-round" provision, which would have prohibited people carrying on campus from keeping a bullet in their gun chambers, was needed to prevent guns from accidentally firing off.

Has he talked to his boss? You know.....McRaven, the former navy SEAL? If HE affirms that possibility, then we know the fix is in.
I believe McRaven generally supported the campus gun ban.

The Regents have spoken on the round in the chamber idea.

I watched the recent Commencement on Longhorn TV. The music was very impressive, the clown show of all those professors in absurd costumes, and their antics, far less so.

How many conceal-carriers will live in dormitories on the University of Texas? (remember, conceal-carriers must be at least 21 years of age). I bet most upper-classmen and graduate students live off campus. However, for those who live on campus--where will they store their handguns at night? What if they do not have cars? If they have cars then maybe vehicle thefts will increase...
If there were any living in the university owned dorms, there won't be any more.

When I was at UT, ~50 years ago, freshman and sophomore males, and all women under 21, had to live in "approved" housing, not necessarily UT owned. The Board of Regents of that day could not bring itself to require private landlords to accept Negroes, so they scrapped the whole idea of approved housing; we could live anywhere we wanted. This touched off a building boom that Austin had never seen the likes of, and maybe even not since.
