Of course. penal code 46.03.
If you have a CHL, you can walk her right up to the door with your handgun on.
What means no?Which for all practical purposes means no.
No. It depends on what you are doing.The original question was "Can you carry on campus?" technically Yes. But you can't go into any building or event. Which, for all practical purposes really means no. You cannot carry on campus.
Not allowed.
Also a good way to make us all look like a bunch of assholes who do what they want regardless of what laws are in place.
This forum is chock full of law abiding citizens, as well as many current and former law enforcement officers.
If your "I may have already sssshhhhhhhh!!" was an attempt to gain some sort of favor with us, you failed. Real, REAL bad!
Notice no one has not heard anything about that chl aggie student who fired at the College Station shooter and probably saved many lives. That prosecutor is really cool for that even though the student was in violation for having carried on campus.
This should win Post of the Year.
I agreed. You can carry on campus, but not in any buildings. So, I repeat, not being able to go into a building eliminates practical carry on campus. As a student, my classes were and are in buildings. So are most of the events. For those that go to campus (students, faculty and staff) cannot carry because they cannot go into their destination while carrying.
Well, some students might hang out and socialize by the quad or parking lot but eventually they will have to go to class or back to the dorms. In a way, the current law isn't all that practical. It's there but overall not very useful.
I'm torn on the concept of campus carry. A big part of me agrees with it on the principle of choice and the 2A but a smaller (much smaller) part of me remembers what I and my classmates were like in college. It's a time where we are all sort of conditioned to make mistakes - young, naieve (although we thought we knew it all), hormones running rampant, parties, alcohol, and bravado spurred on by sexual tensions. Generally not a good mix with guns.
I just don't know.

To each their own, ah reckon. A month after turning 18, I entered the service. 3 months later, I was entrusted with the defense of this great country of ours.....which meant I was deemed fit to bear arms in her defense. For me, that was a pivotal point in my life. Yeah - did my share of stupid, none of which involved doing so with a weapon.
Then again, I have carried a firearm on or about my person most of my life - got my first gun that stayed in my room at the age of 12. I don't brandish 'em, don't do stupid things with them....but if you want to call the music, son, I'll be happy to pay the piper for the first song!
I believe it's up to each individual to prove/disprove their maturity. I don't want to make EVERYONE a target because of a few dumb punks.
So, what you're saying is that because of the restrictions in place (no carry into buildings, events), that it essentially says "NO" due to the probability that few students on campus would be on campus unless they were going to or coming from a building or event. Right?
This thread now has "durp". lol
