I like to think my old alma mater still knows what it's doing but it's been a long while since I left and I could be wrong.

Who gives a hoot if there are animals used in a college laboratory? Are you afraid that a student over 21 is going to pull out a .45 and "bust a cap" in a lab rat?

Have we not learned from Sandy Hook that minors being present is a reason to allow cary, not to prohibit it?

Liberalism is a mental disease.

Why not? The President has been ignoring laws he doesn't like for more than seven years. They're just following his example. In this case, I sincerely hope the legislature doesn't follow the example of the Congress by letting them get away with it.

Well, obviously UH is not ignoring it, given the policy documentation that's been generated. Isn't local control the kind we prefer over dictates from feds or state??? I suspect UH is more concerned about the abstraction that might occur with open carry. I would not compare this policy with that of the local fast food joint - let's assume these folks are thoughtful and well informed in all administrative actions.

That one is interesting. If a person admits they have a LTC, that person is conveying a threat.
