J.R.@A&M, did you go to, or watch the campus carry presentation at Annenberg today?

I don't remember the guys name, but towards the end of Q&A, he told everyone, (I'm paraphrasing from memory) "It has been legal to purchase a firearm for anyone over the age of 21 for a long time. If any of those people want to do harm to somebody, these signs aren't going to stop them"
It was in response to a question regarding one of the campus shootings that happened.

I have never heard such common sense being stated in a meeting. It was wonderful. Now if only people would understand that.

I have been trying to stay up to date on all the laws for campus carry. I work at TAMU, and I can't wait for August 1.

Who is going to be responsible for handling all of the rules that have been implemented? Do we know if this is all up to the committee that A&M formed? I have had a few questions, but not any definitive answers. I attended the same meeting that J.R.@A&M did, just on a different day. We had an officer from UPD, and I believe a member of the council. Most of the questions were about how someone could get their office posted, and who all was allowed to carry. I felt there were a couple of good questions asked, but not all answered.

The question I have been asked the most, and I believe this would apply to any University in Texas. Can a department tell their employees that they are not allowed to carry? I know private companies can make such a rule, so would the same thing be a possibility?

There are some intelligent people on this forum, hopefully someone else will know the answer to this. I have a couple other questions, if I can't find the answers I may post up on here.
