Obviously it's not the best solution but maybe it's the best we can get with an overwhelming Republican majority in the Texas house and senate.

Like State Supported School property? On the sporting event fields?

They don't need to post any signs now. I was thinking something more like county parks, city libraries, and the Texas Capitol. We have to wait and see what's the best an overwhelming Republican majority in the Texas house and senate can do for RKBA. Then vote for or against them based on how they did.

Would the opt out only apply to policy? Or would it be a crime to exercise civil rights on campus?

In other words, would the criminal penalty in Chapter 46 be eliminated for colleges and universities and the "opt out" schools are limited to internal discipline to penalize the students, faculty and staff who violate school policies?

Or do the schools get to make their internal policies a real crime and, if so, why not allow them to make it a felony to cheat on tests or commit plagiarism on a dissertation? That would help improve academia more than prohibiting guns.
