Chief Don Adams of district police said there is a distinction between students who bring a handgun on campus and into buildings and a student who leaves a handgun in a car.
According to the penal code's Texas Concealed Handgun Law, a gun is prohibited on the physical premises of any grounds or buildings, but doesn't include parking lots or sidewalks.
Adams said if students were to bring a gun into a building, it would be a violation of Texas law that could result in an arrest and charges being filed.
However, if a student were to leave a handgun in a vehicle, they are not breaking the law, but are in violation of the F.4.2.1 student code of conduct which is No. 8 on the list of 40 "expressly prohibited behaviors."
