"A U.S. Western District judge has tossed out a lawsuit from three University of Texas professors over the campus carry law.
"In a seven-page ruling signed on Thursday, U.S. Judge Lee Yeakel said attorneys for professors Jennifer Lynn Glass, Lisa Moore and Mia Carter failed to present a sound argument that they will be physically harmed under the law. He said their concerns arise from a "subjective belief that a person may be more likely to cause harm to a professor or student as a result of the law and policy."
"Yeakel's ruling is a win for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, whose office asked for the lawsuit to be dismissed."
