Call for freedom to carry at college in Texas

Campuses push for right to carry handguns
I hadn’t heard one peep about this in the Lone Star State:
Allison Castle, a spokeswoman for Gov. Rick Perry, said the governor would support legislation allowing those with a license to carry a gun on campus.
“Anyone who has gone through the process of getting a license and has had a thorough background check should be allowed to carry a gun anywhere,” Castle said. “In terms of legislation, a lawmaker would have to initiate that. But the governor has left no doubt where he stands on the issue.”
Seems that Texas would be a great place to push this through. Use the stereotypical reputation of the state against opponents of students’ right to carry. If (when) the classrooms don’t run red with blood, just say “If it’s not wild West shootouts every day in Texas, just think how safe every other state will be!”
