Gun Carry On Campus Bill
Status Update
Texas House Bill 1893 allowing Concealed Hand Gun Licensees to carry handguns in campus buildings "died" on the House floor last week. However, the bill had a Senate twin, Senate Bill 1164. Today it squeaked through the Senate 20-11 and it will be sent to the House for debate and perhaps vote (if it makes the voting schedule). The deadline to get it on the house agenda for vote is midnight Tuesday.

I will update you as this bill progresses.

I posted a while back concerning a display in the atrium area of the UHCL campus about the discussion and debate that was studied at this campus, and that the conclusioon was to support these campus carry bills from those participating in this research project...

It appears the overall UHCL campus supports this effort by our legislature, and that obviously those who attend this campus are those in their 3-4 year of studies...So they are a little older and wiser to the issue as a whole...No offense intend to the younger college age folks participating here...This was also the assessment of those in that discussion a while back as well...

My wife came in a little while ago, and after checking "her" email, she got one that was talking about the Campus Carry bill...

She just told me that the Senate version has "died"...[edit] see the latest post...I believe she mispoke...

Regardless of the validity, the source of that information being a college email notification to those who subscribe to that service, is rather...well...disturbing...Knowing what we are doing to get this process (bills) moving from our standpoint...

I'm going to go look at what she got on this and post it here in a bit...If I can...
