House Speaker Joe Straus at U.T.

Students at the University of Texas got the chance to question House Speaker Joe Straus on campus Tuesday.

Straus was also questioned about legislation to allow guns on campuses. He asked students in attendance who would be in favor of such a law and a few raised their hands.

As for me, if I'm in a room with a hundred or so classmates, raising my hand is the same as saying "I have a CHL and I carry a gun".
I've been in similar situations.

so I'd wonder how many in the audience had CHLs and did not raise their hands.

Read it? Don't know. Understood it? Not one.
