Good to see young women (some with non-Anglo Saxon sounding names) getting involved in the cause. So often the "firearms community" looks like a bunch of old white men.

2017 session is around the corner. If these unreasonable policies stick, we should prepare to tighten the bolts on the Campus Carry law to allow for fewer arbitrary decisions by the universities. They had their chance to enact reasonable restrictions. Empty chamber and offices being declared gun-free zones are not reasonable under the intent of the law.

Well it's a good thing that my UT campus is online. It's unfortunate that people that are on campus have to be subjected to this. No round chambered in an auto but having a fully loaded revolver is okay?

Yes, thank you for clarifying that. I was negligent in leaving that out.nimravus01 wrote:The belt or shoulder holster requirement is for open carry only. There is no such requirement in the law for concealed carry. E.g. you could carry in an ankle holster.C-dub wrote:The holster requirements make good sense and most will have a holster that meets those requirements, but as long as the holster is a belt or shoulder holster I don't see where there is anything else that can be required.

I guess they didn't read all of 46.035, since they believe they HAVE to post collegiate events:POLICY STATEMENT NO. 8
Texas Penal Code §46.035(b)(2) excludes license holders of handguns from carrying a handgun where a high school, collegiate, or professional sporting event or interscholastic event is taking place, unless the license holder is a participant in the event and a handgun is used in the event. Notice should be given for all collegiate sporting events. If possible, for ticketed sporting events this notice should be given by means of a written communication on the back of, or appended to, the ticket. Vendors and others who are permitted to enter the premises without a ticket should be provided written notice through other means.
Text of subsection effective on August 01, 2016
(l) Subsection (b)(2) does not apply on the premises where a collegiate sporting event is taking place if the actor was not given effective notice under Section 30.06.

It will be interesting to see what they come up with for training students in dealing with an active shooter situation....
