The Chronicle confuses me. Does the pending bill (without the opt-out amendment) still allow private colleges to opt out?

Yes. The antigun amendment would allow all colleges to opt out.

As the bill was proposed on Friday, it will only allow private universities to opt out. Public universities being state funded will not be able to opt out.

If I had more hair, I'd pull it out, Woodheads have called set up phone banks etc


Just hear Ogden trying to pull Wentworth into the "how will this make campuses safer if so few are armed" trap when it isn't about campus safety but -self-defense .... self-protection

Ogden says ... so if only 750 people are licensed at A&M ... how does that make the campus safer


Question should be .... Well Ogden ... Since it's about self-defense and personal protection instead of Campus safety, why would you want to make 750 people be defenseless whom both the State and Federal Government trust ? (as demonstrated by the Federal GFSZ exemption)

And IMHO no government funded building should be allowed to post 30.06 signs, and if they did, they should not be enforceable ... same as cities

it will only allow private universities to opt out

That's too bad. Private ones are usually the ones I visit to.

Campuses which "opt out" can expect more, since criminals prefer unarmed victims.

Therefore any "opting out" need to indemnify and have a trust set up to pay damages for robberies, injuries from assaults and rapes, deaths, stolen guns or other articles stolen from cars where crooks hope guns are stored.

Every version allows private schools to opt out. The only question is can government schools opt out.....

Like government libraries can post valid 30.06 signs. Oh wait. They can't.
