KCBD in Lubbock just ran a story about how the city is considering banning concealed carry (which is currently 'allowed') from city council meetings. I thought this was not something they could decide to do?

EDIT: Hm, maybe not.

(c) A license holder commits an offense if the license holder intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries a handgun under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, regardless of whether the handgun is concealed, at any meeting of a governmental entity.

Ugh, hearing rumors that our HR department is modifying our policies to include a 'no weapons' entry. Previously the only mention of weapons was in regards to company vehicles - stating if you were licensed you could carry in accordance with state laws. I'm told this is due to insurance crap.

"When you absolutely, positively want to rub a CHL's nose in it, buy one of our Bible verse 30.06 or 30.07 signs!"

They left off the next verse. "Thy rod and thy staf, they comfort me."

And the one about taking up your sword, and selling your cloak to buy a sword if you don't have one.

Oh, completely missed that before. Nice catch.

Article from the Texas Tech newspaper, mostly about active shooter training. However, I really like that the Tech PD lieutenant they are talking to knows something about CHL holders.

Many people have little or no exposure to weapons, Williams said, but should not be worried about people with a concealed handgun license.

“These are the squeaky clean people in society,” he said. “They have to undergo a very rigorous background check to even get that license, it’s not something that DPS and the state are just giving out to people.”

Williams said the percentage of people with a CHL who get in trouble is small.

bigity, I am actually part of the faculty here at Texas Tech and I have emailed numerous members of the board asking them if there was any open spots for me to sit on it as far as the campus carry guidelines. As you figured, all emails have gone ice cold. Why would they want a law abiding citizen with a CHL to have their input right? lol

I would imagine they feel about the same as every other university. By they, of course, I mean the people 'in charge', not the working stiffs.
