The following scenario was posed under another thread and didn't get a bite. This situation could become reality. What say you if, and when, it does?

Let's assume that CHL Campus Carry passes in the legislature and the Goober signs the bill into law. Some campuses will allow CHL carry and some won't.

Education is a business. The student is now faced with a similar decision as are all CH licensees when it comes to 30.06 signs. Do you want to do business with a business that would deny you your 2A RKBA or will you take your business elsewhere?

I would have to look at the situation very carefully. First, as I understand the proposed law, schools will not really have a choice (well, public schools won't - some bills allow private universities to have a choice). If I am still at Texas State and they try to bar CHL's, I will examine the law carefully to force them to. I would consider changing schools also, even if it requires a change in major. I cannot see moving to Huntsville at this time (Sam Houston is the only other doctoral program in Texas in criminal justice) but Our Lady of of the Lake in San Antonio has a very good doctoral program in leadership.

My daughters currently attend Lamar University and Texas State, with the third daughter starting at Sul Ross (probably) in August. I know the oldest would also be trying to get Texas State to allow on campus carry (she is the Army Vet). The second doesn't care for guns and would not care either way on this issue (not anti-gun, just does not care either way) so Lamar could ban and she would not see it as a problem.

God help Sul Ross though if they did not. My third daughter is the kind who thinks the Earth revolves around her and she likes to shoot. She can't wait until she is 21 to get her CHL and is really interested in the two lawsuits in Lubbock. She would really see it as a problem and sees transferring as the wrong answer. She is the one I said would be president if any of my children ever were, in jail if any of my children ever were, and if any president ever went to jail I am doubly sure it would be her. She thinks her word is law unto itself and has acted that way since she was about 18 months old. I don't think the school would stand a chance on disagreeing with her.

And thinking about it, I am not sure transferring is the right answer either. I might stay and try to fight the school to force it to change, depending on the exact wording of the law. I know I could make that fight now under the current law, but I don't think I stand a real decent chance of winning yet. Witht he laws that are proposed, I would be more willing to make the fight as I think I would stand a better chance of winning.

I read just yesterday about a Virginia Tech engineering student who transferred to a school that allows campus carry.

I think I read posts from him, If it's the same guy, he's from Texas, was attending VT, transferred to a school which treats people as adults. Nickname was TexasMike or something IIRC.
