Not being one to let a crisis go to waste (ahem) I have written my Elected Heroes in the Texas Legislature several times in the days following high profile gun-free zone shootings, trying to get just this sort of thing to happen. I like the way Gov. Perry said it: you need to know that if you come to Texas and kill our citizens, we kill you back.
This not only impacts students but also university employees, who are also screwed by current campus bans.
I hope the Texas Ledge acts on this, otherwise it will have to be fought campus-by-campus, persuading each university president to give written authorization to CHL holders, like the Independent School District in rural Harrold, Texas.
