AUSTIN, Texas - Concealed handguns would be mostly barred from University of Texas dormitories but not from classrooms under recommendations presented to the school president.
UT President Greg Fenves will review the recommendations, offered Thursday, before a final vote of approval by university regents.
Texas state lawmakers are requiring public universities to allow concealed handgun license holders to bring weapons on campus starting Aug. 1, 2016.
The panel that developed the recommendations says its members don't want guns in classrooms, but a ban would violate Texas law.
Submitters note: It would seem to me that a ban on guns in dormitories would also violate Texas law. |

| I'm with the submitter on this. The entire dormitory system cannot be a specific sensitive high security area. |

TO REMEMBER |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
