It appears that this new proposal will allow students with CHL to carry guns to class, not just lock them in the car.howdy wrote: did miss something.
It doesn't really say that and since they indicate and seem to think that the law only allows a CHL holder to only have it in their car that leaves skeptical that their intention is to allow students with a CHL to carry in classrooms. It probably is just a change in policy that says students must keep the guns in the car while on campus. It would be nice if this proposal was to allow CHLs to carry in classrooms and buildings. BTW, since they are talking about students, I guess that would not include a visiting parent, spouse, or sibling, if they are talking about allowing them inside buildings?RoyGBiv wrote:It appears that this new proposal will allow students with CHL to carry guns to class, not just lock them in the car.howdy wrote: did miss something.

"Baylor University's student senate has approved a resolution that would allow students and others who have concealed handgun permits to carry their guns on the Waco campus."
Beat me to it. The student senate can pass all the resolutions they want, but they mean bupkis unless the actual authorities in charge of the university OK it.........and that would be the Board of Regents, plus the top administrators.oohrah wrote:Here is a more complete article

Since Baylor is a private university, they could authorize any CHL to carry on campus. Only the Regents can approve this of course.
My statement did not specifically refer to Baylor (my unclear statement) I was referring to the "generic" school. University of Houston had a policy of no guns for students. If caught with a gun on campus, you were expelled forever.DocV wrote:School policy does not deny student CHL holders to have a firearm in their car.howdy wrote: ...
