It would be nice to see him follow through on his statement by changing, or causing others to change, current university policy to permit any CHL holder to carry in TAMU premises.

I'm very happy to hear that Sharp trusts me to be a sane, law-abiding individual on and off of campus. I'm very confident campus carry will pass at this point, but it's too bad I won't be around at A&M by then.

My girlfriend will be at UH Central through the end of the year. It would be great to see CC pass in time for her to at least be able to carry in the fall.

While this would be nice, it's not within his power to do. It's the law and the legislature needs to fix it. I work on a campus and I'm weary of the weak minded sheep speaking lies and fantasy on this matter.
To me, this is the most important gun related topic to be addressed this session. Yes, this includes open carry. What good is open carry if I'm still not permitted to protect myself. This needs to pass the House. I know how the legislature works and guns are a hot topic this session. If something else takes its place next session in two years people will forget and move on.

The law allows for universities to give permission.
"unless pursuant to written regulations or written authorization of the institution;"
