SB 1164
0
I just stumbled upon an interesting bill that may well affect life in the bubble.
Here’s the link:
http://www.legis.state.tx.us/BillLookup/History.aspx?LegSess=81R&Bill=SB1164
A few quotations:
“A license holder may carry a concealed handgun on or
about the license holder’s person while the license holder is on the
campus of an institution of higher education or private or
independent institution of higher education in this state.”
But Trinity is a private school so they can ignore this, right?
The bill goes on:
“An institution of higher education or private or
independent institution of higher education in this state may not
adopt any rule, regulation, or other provision prohibiting license
holders from carrying handguns on the campus of the institution.”
If this passes, there is room for Trinity to finagle a workaround:
“An institution of higher education or private or
independent institution of higher education in this state may
establish rules, regulations, or other provisions concerning the
storage of handguns in dormitories or other residential buildings
that are owned or operated by the institution and located on the campus of the institution.”
As this bill apparently has some support, I wonder what Trinity is thinking.
