The University of Texas, in particular, has a troubled history of students bringing handguns on campus. In 1966, a sniper shooting from UT’s clock tower killed 14 students and in September of 2010, a University of Texas student went on a shooting rampage before killing himself in the school’s library. No one else was hurt.
Huh? Weren't both incidents listed involving rifles?
Stop bringing logic into this--that just confuses the Brady Bunch.

Chas.
The sites sometimes keep track of where the hits on their polls are coming from, and block results if they are all coming from one place. If you want to prevent that, right-click and copy the shortcut, then open a new browser window and paste in the address bar to go to the poll.

I'd think that would be covered under the part of the bill prohibiting the schools from adopting "any rule, regulation, or other provision prohibiting license holders from carrying handguns on the campus of the institution."

I graduated from there in 2008, the school is surrounded by some of the worst neighborhoods infested with drugs, criminals, and prostitution. There have been a few occasions were I've seen obvious crackheads wondering on campus. Furthermore, It has always bothered me having to walk out the parking lot after doing some late night studying with no protection.
There have been at least a couple murders on the UH campus that I can recall since I moved to Houston in 2005. The students aren't paying attention if they think the campus is safe.

Someone must be trying to get the word out aout this bill; there have been a bunch of stories on this in the past couple of days.

The Houston Chronicle had an article about it yesterday, and Fox 26 had a story this morning--short, saying it was likely to pass, then went to UH and found a bunch of students who opposed it because they were afraid their classmates would go nuts and shoot up the class and "school should be a safe place." :roll:
