[RPB]

Dr. Bill Holda had another interview on TV
Dr. Holda was against it – and now he’s for it.

Evidence that Educators are educatable. (Is that a valid word?)

[lonewolf]

If it wasn't then, it is now......

Man I love hearing that at the end. It bothers me so much when I hear those who are intended to be my educators argue with nothing but hypothetical blind fear situations. Even more so when the logic and data is out there to disprove those worries.

+1up great to hear that.

If Dr. Holda were truly for campus carry, he would allow students, faculty, and staff at Kilgore to carry on campus. All it takes is him to say abracadabra for it to be legal.

If he had done this several weeks ago, it might have shown to the antis that their fear mongering was just that.

He still has time to set an example for other schools in Texas, though.

True, but he still has to answer to people, perhaps after renewing a contract he could...

I just asked him to.

That'd be super-extra-cool if he did.

His contract is good for at least another year. He actually asked for and took a 10% pay cut in January due to the budget issues. He's also been president at Kilgore for 15 years. I don't think they'd cut ties so quickly over an issue such as this.

He seems to be a genuinely good guy. I hope he sees that he can make a difference in the safety of his students/faculty/staff and give a big to the Legislature by allowing carry on his campus.

I recall him stating something about looking into CHL classes for Faculty & Staff, so they could continue their education.

(IF someone close is an instructor and wants business they might contact him and do like at Tech ... discounts for those associated with the college at a class on campus?) Might even get ***Publicity*** (Free Advertising) out of it if handled right with News Reporter people.....

Might contact a gun store first and see if any will "partner up"

Might be worth looking into, especially anyone who Instructs and sells guns ... or an Instructor who teams up with a gun shop and both give "school" discounts to get .... business (and NEWS advertising if done properly) you (and the gun shop) never would have had.

Take the on campus class, Get a discount on class by showing school affiliation, if you graduate, get a coupon for % off at XXXXX gun store ...

(Bigger discount if you sign this petition/letter to our Senators/Representatives with your position at a college?) [Sounds so John Woods-like ]

I smell an untapped market, and their friends ...

I just applaud him for learning more about the law, taking the class and figuring out what it was really about, instead of parroting talking points.

A lot of people (including me) were ready to jump down his throat for his initial statements, but he showed the marks of a true educator (someone who loves learning), learned more about the subject, and changed his mind.

What a win by the good guys!
