Re: Senator asks Paxton to delay campus carry opinion
I don't think Paxton is delaying anything. It does take time to research all the relevant law, and this certainly not the only thing on the plates of the AG staff.
The article notes: "Attorneys general usually issue opinions within 180 days of the request,..."
On the other hand, I don't see why it's problem if the AG weighs in earlier to give everyone some guidance, rather than "after the process is complete". I suspect Senator Kirk Watson, who asked for the delay, is hoping to delay guns on campus as long as possible, and let the most restrictive rules possible get entrenched as long as possible.
