A bill in the Texas legislature would allow concealed carry permit holders to bring handguns onto university campuses, including dormitories. Currently, permit holders can only bring guns onto campus grounds. Similar bills are being considered in other states. While opinions on both sides are strong, most discussions spend little time on facts about concealed carry laws and campus crime statistics. Some states leave the decision to individual schools, and a few schools currently allow concealed carry. However, statistics on violence at schools that allow concealed carry are scarce. The bill faces opposition but may pass despite polls showing most Texans disagreeing with removing restrictions.
