and heller leaves open the door to regulate and even restrict ban for automatic weapons, like ar-15s. part of what is being discussed. ken, to you, looking back to 1994, an example of washington jumping in on this issue, that was when president clinton signed into law the public safety and recreational weapon law. but that expired in 2004. so, talk to me a little bit more about what happened then. they also, if i remember my history correctly, i m going back 24 years, they also instructed state officials, sheriffs in particular, they had to do certain things. those pieces were found unconstitutional. because they can t tell state
which is just outside of this area. where texas a&m is located, for example. a point of reference. here s where the incident is taking place. near houston. one person in custody. multiple people shot at this texas college. i m also being told that there s a day care on this college campus. all of the children we re told are safe at this point. the campus has roughly 18,000 students. in texas right now, texas is one of the state that is has a concealed carry weapons law. currently there are 21 states that ban carrying concealed weapons but on college campuses and texas seems to be one of those according to the information that i have that 21 states that ban carrying a concealed weapon on a college campus, texas is included in that and the state has a concealed carries weapon law in
school campuses and sporting events in places that would seem unusual to some. but again, pointing the audience back to what we see here on screen. this is harris county college. that s in harris county, obviously. in texas. the university or the college is called lone star college. that s near harris campus. so we re trying to get the breakdown here and sounds like a campus that s part of lone star college. and this is their north harris campus about 12 to 14 minutes ago. word came in that several shots were heard on this campus. a few minutes later, multiple people according to authorities confirmed shot. we do not have an exact number. clint, back to the conversation of the law in the state, they have a concealed handguns weapon law in place in texas and been in place i m going to calculate about 15, maybe 20 years now. maybe around that. yeah. it has. and we have seen few shootings
