I searched to see if there was a thread on this already but I did not find anything.

Texas State Legislature will be looking at allowing people with a Concealed Handgun License (CHL) to carry guns on campus. I am generally conservative in my political views and support the right to bear arms but this a topic that I am strongly opposed to. It is a simple pro vs. cons for me. The actual threat of a shooting at a school is unbelievably small. The idea of CHL's on campus so that students or professors with guns could stop a potential shooter is merely an excuse to play cowboy. These are SCHOOLS, a place of learning, not the wild west and there is no reason for guns to be present. Frankly, I don't trust anyone with a CHL with my life. I just see so many negatives of this that they outweigh the positives. From what I hear, this is likely to pass into law. This just makes me furious.
