I just read an article that said they've revived the statewide smoking ban bill yesterday in the special session. Was that specifically added to the call?

It seems like if they can take up topics like that, they ought to be able to add campus carry to the list too.

With no guns on campus, we can at least say we are better than Arizona. Not by much, but still better. #txlege #texas

What is he even talking about, better than Arizona? They don't have campus carry either...

I'm disappointed... but this means we get to come back even stronger next session!!

It just goes to show how uninformed he is on the subject. Arizona tried to pass a law so that they could do what we already can, carry outside of buildings on campus. The governor vetoed. The anti's and their "leader" really have no idea what campus carry does: Extend the rights of licensed law abiding citizens.

I believe what he means is that, in Arizona, carrying on a college campus is not statutorily off limits. Universities can prohibit carrying but it's not off limits by default like it is here in Texas. The Arizona Campus Carry bill would have prevented universities from adopting rules that prohibit carrying.

I have no particular inside knowledge, but I suspect campus carry won't be considered important enough for the special session. Gov. Perry could have added it to the special session 2 years ago when we were so close to getting it passed, but he didn't.

Still, it certainly doesn't hurt to contact him and ask.
