In reply to the discussion: You gave me a D?? BANG! [View all]jmg257
(11,996 posts)76. In Texas?? Not sure "adult" has much to do with it. The adult legislature passed the law after all.
Anyway, maybe not too many will take advantage of the law - any numbers on how many are carrying?
That article showed very little interest in the on-campus gun group.
Its usually no big deal carrying most places, but having to deal with safe storage all the times you aren't - seems it would be very annoying.
