According to my Senator, Dan Patrick, it is very much alive, and he very much supports itUpTheIrons wrote:I have a slightly off-topic question - WOAI radio has been running a story almost every hour today about how campus carry is all but dead and WILL NOT be introduced this session after Tuesday's events. They played a clip of a rep. from Arlington (?) who blathered on with misinformation and emotionalism and why we can't allow guns on campus.
She said she wanted to know where he got the gun and why he had it there. I think the answer is obvious - he intended to commit suicide in a rather 'spectacular' way. Of course, she ignored the fact that he wasn't old enough to have a CHL anyway, so this incident has no bearing on denying Campus Carry and only makes it more important.
So, after hearing yesterday that the original sponsor (Driver?) was going to file the bill again, today I hear that it's not got a chance. The reporter implied that this is a widespread feeling. Usually WOAI is pretty balanced, but the last couple of days they have been steering way left on this.
