Re: Concealed Carry on College Campuses

From Senator Wentworth's Fall 2008 Newsletter:

"Concealed Handguns on University Campuses
Currently, concealed handguns are not allowed on college campuses. Mass murders on the campuses of Virginia Tech University and Northern Illinois University may well have taken far fewer lives had a person with a license to carry a concealed handgun been at the scene.
In an effort to prevent such a senseless tragedy on a Texas college or university campus, I will introduce a bill that will allow persons who are licensed to carry a concealed weapon to do so on a college campus. Because most college students are 17, 18, 19 or 20 years old, and because only persons who are 21 years of age or older may be licensed to carry a concealed weapon in Texas (with a couple of exceptions for honorably discharged or active duty military) very few college students would be eligible to carry a weapon on campus, and those who do would have to be trained and licensed before they could."
