Okay, I feel better now as far as my knowledge goes. I was sure it died but today a fellow gun-friendly student swore up and down that it's legal now. Luckily she isn't licensed so she wasn't carrying -- I'm sure she would have carried with that misinformation had she been licensed. While that's a bit disappointing (as I would have been happy to hear it passed) it's also a relief because it means I HAVE been getting my information from good sources and had correct information. Whew!
In any case, can we talk hypothetical? What if a campus carry bill passes in the future? My hubby and I graduate in 2012 but he will be pursuing a doctorate, so the campus carry bill is still a cause close to us. If he attends a private college and they only specify "no firearms" but say nothing specifically about licensed carry, would we still be good under the law to carry? Would they have to post 30.06? Would the "no firearms" blanket rule in the handbook also apply to those with concealed weapons? I mean, the 30.06 requirements for a legally binding sign apply to other private entities, so shouldn't that also apply to private institutions? Just wondering, as I hope those questions will be something I'm asking after the next convening of Texas Legislation. I'm sure we can get it passed in time...

Campus Carry - Private College
I feel like an idiot, but I thought the Campus Carry Bill died this spring. It seems that the senate added it on to a different bill and passed it??
If so, then what constitutes a private college "prohibiting" carry? My college states that firearms are not allowed on campus BUT does not EVER mention anything about concealed carry with a license. Does that mean I am legal to carry?
My hubby and I organized Campus Carry demonstrations at Austin College in previous years and the administration is VERY anti-gun so I do NOT want to ask them and bring attention to it.
What do you think? What information can you give me on this? I'm embarrassed and disappointed that I somehow missed this, and feel like I'm in a fog because I haven't been keeping up with current goings-on. I'm hungry for information, ya'll. FEED ME!
