I'm still amused by the Campus Police Chief opposing Concealed carry ("civilians with guns on campus? We're trained to kill")
Ummm Chief, are you saying you can't recognize the professors in the Hines building teaching criminal Justice, you know, where they also teach hostage negotiation to Law Enforcement officers from all over the Nation, and also can't differentiate between a student hiding under a desk from a guy walking desk to desk executing people? (Now I'm afraid of the "three officers on duty" I propose they attend some more "shoot-don't shoot" training.) But seriously, what are we supposed to do while they set up a perimeter and negotiate for 6 or 7 hours, other than hide under a desk and wait our turn to be executed?
... That's what Twitter is for I guess, and down-loadable cell phone games? (That's what some did at UT) http://www.campuscarry.com/2010/11/30/t ... pus-carry/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
By a vote of 24-10[ii], Texas State University, the sixth largest university in Texas[iii] (with over 32,500 students[iv]), became the first postsecondary institution in the state to pass a resolution endorsing “campus carry.”
The students at Texas State should be commended for educating themselves on a complex issue that has been completely misrepresented by gun control activists and certain elements of the mainstream media.”

Today ASG senators will vote on behalf of the student body to either support the current university policy, or issue a statement advocating the policy be changed to allow concealed firearms in university buildings.

San Marcos Police Department Chief Howard Williams said Friday that SMPD would not be involved in the forum because UPD has jurisdiction over the university.
“I don’t see any magic in being on a college campus that just automatically makes you safer, and if the rationale is that people can defend themselves, I can understand why the university would want it,” he said.
“There seems to be a certain sanctity to a campus, but they had that same feeling at Virginia Tech and at about 20 other colleges,” he said. “There is no magic fence around our campus.”

This is actually the second bill ... First bill was anti-carry (defeated) second bill was pro-carry (passed)
