Log-Summary of Campus Carry Hearing 750 out of committee

[RPB]

Is there a list of guests who are scheduled to testify?

I'm sure one exists there inside that room.

[RPB]

WOW


Dr. Holda is talking about so-called "PRIVATE" colleges getting 300 million a year in grants so why are they "Private" and allowed to opt out?


Also that gun-free zones should be eliminated he went down the list http://popgun.wordpress.com/2011/03/15/ ... testimony/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

============================

3:01 Alice Tripp for TSRA testifying
She can walk all over UT armed, except in football games or buildings.
Student expulsion for gun in car policy
Employee termination policy
but any chl other than those can legally walk around armed without consequence

Cleary Act history (Jean Cleary was raped and murdered in her dorm room)
7 forceable rapes on campus at UT in cleary reports, but if 7 rapes in nearby neighborhood, there'd be an outcry and big news.

evidence lacking 86% police chiefs don't want it (quoted John Woods)
utsa and el paso police chiefs oppose
consider local control; let ut austin not comply

[Thomas]

It sounded like that the committee members did as best as they could to politely blow John Woods off. I was also surprised at his blatant lie that all survivors and family of victims are all on his side. He added "to his knowledge" when saying that, I think so that if anyone ever called him on that lie, he could claim he didn't know.

[RPB]

more signed up... more now than in the beginning
(Please don't cover ground already covered)

4:34 Some guy, Lance, UT Alum testifying against everything reading Spring Break Timing comments from John Woods/Colin article
