Well, a CHL holder has to be 21 and must know the law. If they get caught with their gun while intoxicated it will be a terrible scar on the movement. I will make a prediction here and now that it won't happen. How many 21,22,23 year old CHL holders are in dorms at any given time? I would guess it to be not more than 100 in the entire state. Of those we are talking about the most responsible of the students, and most faculty, on the entire campus. I consider our qualification for getting a CHL far to strenuous and expensive for any person licensed to consider being irresponsible while carrying. The only arguments I can see against this is that of proper secure storage where no other person can get to it. And that, if I remember the bill correctly, it only applies to students and faculty and not to the general CHL community. Please correct me if I am wrong about that. That is my opinion.[/quote]

Almost all Graduate Students are > 21 and they will be the most likely to get CHL's. There are 10's of thousands of graduate students at our colleges in TX...

Re: Despicable cartoon in the Houston Comical
I have real mixed feelings on this. I supervised a 10 story all male residence hall, freshmen and sophmores. I also supervised Sorority Rush. I would like to assume that every college student who qualifies for and earns a CHL has the maturity to keep the booze separate from the gun 100% of the time...But after being in the college environment for 7 yrs, I got to believe that serious mistakes are going to happen.
My boss, whose dad is secret service and who tried to get in the service himself made a mistake. He got his CHL last year, had a beer at a friends house while carrying and then drove home. Had he been pulled over for some reason, handed his CHL to the LEO, LEO smells beer on his breath... And he's got a lot of issues to deal with...I can only imagine the potential accidents waiting on our college campus's...
