| Texas Senate Approves Concealed/Licensed Guns in College Classrooms |
| 2011-05-10 |
| AUSTIN, Texas – Texas senators have voted to allow concealed handgun license holders to carry their weapons into public college classrooms. Monday's vote is a major push on an issue that has stalled in the Senate and House despite overwhelming support from lawmakers in the Republican-dominated Legislature. Sen. Jeff Wentworth, R-San Antonio, had been unable to muster the votes he needed under Senate rules to pass the issue as its own bill. After several failed attempts, Monday's vote tacked the measure onto a universities spending bill. Supporters call it a critical self-defense measure and gun rights issue. Opponents worry concealed handguns could lead to more campus violence and suicide. The measure has met stiff resistance from higher education officials, notably from within the University of Texas system. |

| #2 If I remember correctly, the VT shooting was finally ended by a student who went to his car and got his personal sidearm and confronted the shooter. There has been some speculation that having armed students will prevent classrooms shootings. The law abiding will follow all of the rules. Remember: "If you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns" and I believe that. What makes you think a CRIMINAL will obey the law if he needs a weapon to rob a store? |
