I have not been to every college in Texas, but I have been to many and none are the seething underworld of criminals where a gun is needed to protect yourself. and yes my life is in danger from persons with a CHL as I would be in the classroom where they are shooting back. I know several people with a CHL in Texas and none are trained to "defend" an attack on themselves in a public place like a campus. Legally this will be in interesting topic in regards to the responsibility of the person with the CHL should they hit anyone else other than the shooter. The point being guns do not belong on university properties in the hand of civilians, that is what law enforcement is for. The threat of danger is not great enough to justify guns being on campus
