I agree about the dual-credit students - students take trips to malls, museums, parades, movies, parks . . . all places where guns are carried. If you don't want you child in an adult-school environment, don't send them to a school for adults.
I am definitely glad we got the law we did instead of none at all. I also agree that there is room to clean it up in future sessions.

Re: Campus Carry Question
I got this in an email newsletter this morning. It doesn't give me much hope for the future when they don't understand the laws that are in place now.
Legislative update
This session, the Texas Legislature passed an open carry bill, SB11, which will eventually allow guns on campus. The law will be in effect for CTC and other community colleges starting in 2017. Until then, CTC policy, which prohibits the carrying of guns or weapons on college premises, will remain the same. No one, while on premises controlled or owned by the Central Texas College District, shall store or carry a weapon. A weapon is defined as a manufactured device designed to injure or kill another being, or a device designed to look like a weapon. A student who possesses an item or material in violation of this policy will be subject to the laws of the State of Texas and discipline under the CTCD Student Code of Conduct.
An employee who possesses an item or material in violation of this policy will be subject to the laws of the State of Texas and disciplinary action as detailed in the Central Texas College Human Resource Management Safety Policies and Procedures Manual.
CTC administration is currently working on an implementation plan for SB11 and employees and students will be advised when it is final. Until 2017, we must abide by the current Texas law which prohibits guns on campus.
