Texas Lawmakers Pass Bill Allowing Guns on College Campuses
Students and faculty members at public and private universities in Texas could be allowed to carry concealed handguns into classrooms, dormitories and other buildings under a bill passed by the Texas Legislature.
The campus-carry bill is expected to be signed into law by Governor Greg Abbott. It would take effect in August 2016 at universities and August 2017 at community colleges, reported the New York Times.
