This is a very tricky area of law.

What constitutes "any" state funding? No property tax? Federal tuition scholarships or grants? Federal flood insurance?

Pretty soon, there is nothing anywhere that is not state-supported in some way. This would be great with respect to the right to keep and bear arms, but are you willing to see it extended to other areas that could be considered civil rights?

We don't have that now and nobody seems to think we need it.

If you don't want people to carry in your house, all you have to do is ask them.

You can legally require people to submit to being frisked when they enter your house. I never heard of anyone that paranoid.

I didn't intend to post in this thread, but now that I have ... If this law gets passed, it will be based on the political reality of what can pass both houses of the Texas Legislature.

Requiring by law private schools to allow concealed carry will never pass. Too many powerful interests would be against it, and too many legislators wouldn't touch the issue. It's a non-starter.
