East Texas lawmaker wants to allow concealed carry on school campuses
Senate Bill 514 is an extension of the open carry law which passed in 2015 for college campuses. Author: Payton Weidman Updated: 2:00 PM CST March 12, 2021

is an extension of the open carry law which passed in 2015 for college campuses. The idea is that there will be people there, that anybody thinking about going to school to do harm to our kids will now know that there s a good chance that there may be one or more people there that are prepared to defend themselves, Hall said. So, that will discourage them.
