Back in my day, anyone, including students could have guns in their unlocked and open window vehicles and no one thought a thing about it.

This is common sense. Otherwise you can’t legally exercise gun rights if you work at a school unless you aren’t visiting the school that day.

Exactly. Libs are trying to play this up as some scary extreme position, but I remember kids driving to school with hunting rifles in their cars and trucks all the time during hunting season. All the time. No one thought anything about it.

Ditto. Of course that was before a generation of kids grew up with too much money, too little responsibility, and enough time to spawn a generation of bigger idiots. Too bad we can't slow boat them to Australia and enjoy those days all over again.

Same here. We even had a marksmanship club at school (rural Iowa) and competed among ourselves and a couple other local towns schools. Great range time, and the Coach tolerated zero screwing around. As it should be.

Why? Why? Why?

Does Texas hate students?

How many people must die because the Texas legislature makes it convenient for people to shoot up schools?

I bet 95% of school shooters used cars to bring their guns to school. Otherwise, they’d have to run or bike their heavy guns and ammo to school. Why make it easy for mass-murderers? No guns in cars is a clear deterrent to school shootings.

I suppose buses and mopeds are a grey area. And there probably exists the rare boat shooting. But cars are the overwhelming majority. Just say no to guns in cars at schools!

Took you long enough, Texas.

As long as I can remember we Hoosiers have also been able to have guns in cars when picking up our kids at school.

Virginia has the same idiotic rule over no guns on school property.
It did get amended to if one is picking up his kid and he is otherwise within the law, one can have gun in vehicle in parking lot as long as person in vehicle.

I committed a ‘felony’ at least a few times a week when my two grandsons were playing baseball as I felt the gun in my possession was better than leaving it in my truck with all those ‘teenagers’ prowling the parking lots during games.

My only ‘alternate’ was to leave my gun at home which was also ridiculous so while at the games I was armed as usual BUT breaking laws....

Of course I figure that is why it is referred to as CONCEALED CARRY.

I’m really starting to appreciate living in Mississippi - my “Enhanced” Carry Permit says I can carry my concealed weapon into a school.
