This is nuts. Does the law really allow the university regulate how a legally-possessed firearm is carried? I was thinking it was limited to "where."


This is interesting:

The report goes on to note how requiring gun owners to un-holster and store their guns "multiplies the danger of an accidental discharge" ...

Surprisingly UT Is ahead of the military on this one, at least in my experience.

I really couldn't read the rest of it because the Chron seems to have an autoplay add followed by a video report, and it just eats my old computer alive -- I can't stop it, and it gums up all the other processing. Does anyone have a link directly to the UT campus carry rules document?

Second, TGC § 411.2031(d-1) requires the university to
give “effective notice under Section 30.06, Penal Code,
with respect to any portion of a premises on which license
holders may not carry.” TPC § 30.06 in turn provides that
notice may be given by oral or written communication.
Written communication may take either of two forms. It
may be given individually on a card or document or more
generally through posted signage. Either way, TPC § 30.06
prescribes the precise language the written notice must
contain:
“Pursuant to Section 30.06, Penal Code
(trespass by license holder with a concealed
handgun), a person licensed under Subchapter H,
Chapter 411, Government Code (handgun licensing
law), may not enter this property with
a concealed handgun.” TPC § 30.06(c)(3)(A).
For posted signs, this language must appear in both
English and Spanish, in block letters at least one inch
high. The Working Group did a mock-up of this statutorilymandated
signage and determined that these signs will
have to be at least two feet by three feet in dimension.
