Anti-gun leftists have screamed and moaned about the idea of law-abiding concealed carry license holders being able to take their lawfully owned firearms onto college campuses. They routinely act like anyone with a gun is going to snap at any moment.
Of course, this isn’t new. After every new repeal of some anti-gun regulation, we hear the old “the streets will run red with blood” arguments, and yet they never seem to pan out that way, do they?
But campus carry is different, they say. These are kids, so there are all kinds of new problems that will make the streets run red with blood.
Well, we’re in luck. Texas has now had campus carry for a year, and how many problems have they had? None.
With a full year of the Lone Star State’s new campus carry law in the rear view, the University of North Texas has little trouble to report.
Officials with the public research university in Denton, with a 2016 enrollment of nearly 38,000 students, explained to local media that the once-controversial new law trimming gun free zones at state-funded colleges and universities for those with a carry permit hasn’t changed life on campus.
“We have had no incidents since the law passed or since the law went into effect of criminal acts by license-to-carry holders,” UNT Police Chief Ed Reynolds told the Denton Record-Chronicle.
It won’t stop the leftists from their made up horror scenes they like to scare people with.
There’s a certain professor there, whose body armor is sadly undented.
Hope this bit of factual information filters north across the Red River into the heads of the OK Legislature which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of higher education. Unfortunately, we have to put up with one more session where the current president of OU will hold sway before he retires in June.
I saw that pic. Wonder if he wore it all summer. Gets hot in Texas.
“Anti-gun leftists have screamed and moaned about the idea of law-abiding concealed carry license holders being able to take their lawfully owned firearms onto college campuses. “
leftists have ALWAYS screamed and yelled that the world would end for ALL concealed carry of all forms.
nothing bad has ever happened, but they still always scream and yell that it will.
Hey, if he wants to waste his money, let him. After all he IS rich.
It’s been like the Real West, not the Wild West portrayed by Hollyweird. Remember most of the people in the Real West after1865 were mostly Civil War veterans and knew how to handle weapons so people were mostly polite to each other.
