taking place. This would include UT athletic events.
Does the law still ban concealed carry at collegiate sporting events? I know the section that previously banned it wasn't removed or struck from the books. SB 11 doesn't explicitly call out sporting events as no longer off-limits; it only states that concealed carry is allowed "on the
campus of an institution of higher education or private or independent institution of higher education in this state." So does SB11 override the previous prohibition? And what if the event is being held off-campus (eg. OU/TX at the Cotton Bowl)? SB11 makes no reference to collegiate sporting that are held off-campus.
I think college sporting events will still still be off limits.
