I think this forum is kind of like a good old boys club, and I too feel like an outsider. However, there are some unique things this forum can offer that I've not seen elsewhere, e.g. local to Texas, knowledgable people on TX CHL laws, and responsible, mature posters.

I post what I believe and don't embellish or pretend, and I've found many posters do just that. You don't find too many Internet forums with such a high percentage of generally truthful users.

Don't be too offended by TXInvestigator; otherwise, you'll not be able to sleep well tonight. He seems to know something about CHL laws, and I've learned a lot from him. However, his opinions may be, like you noticed, a bit rigid, and he's entitled to them and they are just opinions.

I remember during my college days, Internet email flame wars happen all the time. If I decided to quit the Internet back then, I'd b missing out on all this web stuff and forums.

I shouldn't need to ask the school administration at all; it's none of their business. In fact, I'd prefer it if they didn't know that I carry at all.

As long as it's a public school supported by tax dollars they should have no say in the matter.

Your heart is in the right place but we need LESS gun control, not more. Gun control is ineffective.

Ya, that's great if you want to walk around with your head in the clouds. You must understand that we are trying to get things changed, and by walking around like a tough guy we're not going to get anything accomplished. I agree with you that we should all be allowed to carry where we want, but that is just not reality. You have to think it out more thoroughly than that.

Big +1. As a college student, my rights are no less protected by the constitution than yours. A university isn't any more special than any other place where you can carry

How would you like for the college students to get together on the forum and draft stricter provisions for YOU to carry at the places you frequent?

Like was said before, your heart is in the right place, but I feel like this is a bad idea.

I wonder if you read ANY of my previous posts, Nick. I JUST GRADUATED FROM PENN STATE UNIVERSITY. I have been through trying to get the rules changed to no avail. Like I said to Geister, when you are dealing with the powers that be, it is better to take a little and give a little. It is best to not act childish in this situation. How much stricter could the laws get about carrying on campus???? Are you serious??? You aren't even allowed now!!! Come on, be serious.

Military Instillations

Bar's Night Clubs,

either you trust me to carry a weapon and use it for its intended purpose, or you don't.

I'm tired of not having my gun with me when I visit certain places which I can not avoid.

You can't avoid bars?

Texas does not prohibit you from carrying at a military base.

There are times when I can not, no. A large majority of the time I can and do, however the example I use is walking the river walk with a group of friends, and they walk into one of the bars, I can either stay outside, which I have, or go in, and grab a coke. I'd prefer to go in and have a coke. If I had planned on drinking, I wouldn't pack. I want to go about my day without wondering where I might end up at the end of the day, as I dress for it in the morning.

Now how do you discren that TX doesn't prevent carry on military installations? The one I frequent has a 30.06 sign posted at the entrace, now surely TX allows it, but the base prevents it using Texas law. Correct??
