Texas already lets lawmakers bring guns into the Capitol. And the governor sometimes jogs with a loaded pistol. But should people be allowed to carry concealed weapons onto college campuses?
Gun advocates argue that doing so could help put a quick end to threats like the one posed by a University of Texas student who fired several rounds from an assault rifle Tuesday before killing himself.
Under current law, college buildings in Texas are gun-free zones. But that did not stop Colton Tooley from darting along a street near the university’s clock tower Tuesday, shooting off an AK-47. He then entered a library and shot himself. No one else was hurt.-[source]
Actually all Texans with a CHL can legally visit the state Capitol, not just lawmakers. In fact, there is a separate CHL line which bypasses the metal detectors altogether.
NICE!
No weapons are allowed in the Az Capitol buildings, outside is a different matter altogether.
That’s for us peasants, I’m sure the ruling class carries inside, or wherever else they desire.
