Those problems will arise because students who might see a concealed handgun have no idea if the gun owner is legally suppose to have it, he added.

Wow, didn't know they had Xray specs on the Texas campus.


As to the rest....

“It causes confusion, fear, panic, all of the above and that is not good for the learning environment and that’s not good for public safety,” said Acevedo.

Talk about a leap of faith! We go from confusion to not being good for public safety in less than 1 sentence. Excuse me while I seek cover - the sky is falling!

Acevedo obviously doesn't like CHL. He should go back home to Kalifornia where CHL is illegal and crime rates are higher so he'll have more important things to do than worry about a college student with x-ray vision calling in multiple erroneous "man with gun" reports.

So, we shouldn't allow CHL holders to carry a gun to protect themselves and other innocent people because someone might have an emotional reaction if, maybe, somehow they see a licensed concealed handgun and call 911. The Chief wants to allow people to be raped, robbed or die rather than the police be bothered to do their job and investigate after a 911 call. This is not only a matter of rights but a matter of LIFE or DEATH. To allow the discussion to be shaped any other way is risking us allowing a young woman to be raped or people to be murdered in my opinion. The Chief that made these comments should be publicly shamed, if this law is passed, every time any CHL defends themselves on a campus. That's my opinion.

i think some people need to get a clue about body language.

“If we are going to start asking the question on weather or not it is going to be an inconvenience to law enforcement in the expression and exercise of your constitutional right we have a bigger problem,” Birdwell said.

Perfectly said.

Is he saying off duty and undercover police in Austin shouldn't be allowed to carry on campus, because
“It causes confusion, fear, panic, all of the above and that is not good for the learning environment and that’s not good for public safety”

As I see it, Acevedo is anti 2nd. Don't listen to what he says, watch what he does. He's just like obozo, says one thing and does another.

He is not to be trusted.

This could turn into a real circus. With Acevedo, Powers and Cigarroa winding everyone up in advance, once the bill becomes law, the students that are paranoid anti might be reporting every bulge in someone’s clothing as a possible gun.

As an aside (and as a holder of a B.A. in Journalism degree)...really? The reporter actually used the word "weather" instead of "whether"? No editor picked this up? This just reinforces my belief that phonics has ruined spelling for an entire generation.

Sorry, I'm a sticker for spelling and grammar. I don't typically call anyone out on an Internet forum ( ) but when it's printed in a newspaper by someone whose job it is to spell properly and use the correct word it drives me batty.

Edit: Corrected a misspelled word.

Are you a "sticker" for spelling or a "stickler" ?

Now that's funny.

From the beginning, this whole thread has been fraught with spelling errors: "Avocado on Campus Carry"

.....: "Avocado on Campus Carry"

Is that similar to guacamole on tortillas?
