Interesting. The caption says HB 11, not SB 11....?

In short:

Under SB11, Private colleges can ban carrying a handgun on their property and this is not limited to buildings. This is currently the law since private schools can use TPC §30.06. Under SB11, even private schools cannot have general policies to render all of its real estate off-limits. Therefore, this is slightly better for private schools.

Under SB11, Public colleges can create rules against carrying handguns on all of their property that apply to students, faculty and staff. This is currently the law. Under SB11, there will be a criminal offense only for carrying in a building or part of a building. There is no offense for carrying outside of a building. This too is the current law. As with private colleges, they cannot have a global policy of making all buildings off-limits.

Neither public nor private schools can ban guns in cars in the parking lot.

We are not worse off with SB11.

Chas.

Thanks for the clarification. I was not aware that storing a handgun in a car was already protected and will continue to be protected. I'm glad you're able to confirm that SB11 does not grant a school any expanded powers to ban concealed carry.

They're talking about HB 11, not SB 11.

Nope, this is SB 11 - Campus Carry.

ARgghhhh.. "students' brains are not yet fully developed...."

[ELB]

So it seems we are not worse off, but the only "advance" is that public universities and schools have to jump through some bureaucratic hoops to ban concealed carry?

ARgghhhh.. "students' brains are not yet fully developed...."

Probably due to all the underage drinking that just *isn't a big deal*

[JollyHappyDad]

"developing minds" "fragile emotions"? When is somebody going to flat out say YOU CAN'T GET A LICENSE UNTIL YOU ARE 21

[viking1000]

ARgghhhh.. "students' brains are not yet fully developed...."

Mother Jones ??? Oh there is a top notch organization ... NOT

[JollyHappyDad]

Somebody better quick go get those 18 to 21 year old members of the armed forces out of battle - they're apparently quite fragile...

[TrueFlog]

Van Taylor is up. He's my Senator and has always talked a good talk. I'm curious to see if he backs it up.

[NEB]

Yet we'll gladly let all of these "kids" with fragile emotions and delicate minds that are not fully developed join the armed forces, train in the use of our most lethal weapons, and kill and be killed all to protect the freedoms of these same brainless anti-gun sycophants.
