Re: Despicable cartoon in the Houston Comical

The media seems to have the same take, but the problem with this logic is that it has no foundation. Passing the "campus carry" law will not allow every college kid to carry a gun on campus. What it will do is allow those who are licensed (and don't seem to be causing any issues) to carry while in class if they choose to do so.

There is a considerable amount of attention focused upon college kids carrying and not being responsible enough to do so. Problem is that they're already carrying in their apartment, eating diner, picking up groceries, and going to the movies. The only thing that changes is that they are able to defend themselves where they spend the majority of time - on campus.

It wasn't too long ago that I was in school and I can't recall a kegger being held on campus. Those that are held off campus are completely legal for a CHL to carry under our law, so long as they're not intoxicated. I would assume this is happening with some degree of regularity and isn't making waves.

CHL holders have demonstrated our level of responsibility over the years - regardless of age.

It should be allowed for their safety, but there is an abundance of alcohol at college dorms and such, That in my opinion would make that a very dangerous situation.

IMO
