Bill Targets Campus Gun Bans

Roanoke Times

A bill being considered in the Virginia House of Delegates challenges the authority of public universities to ban guns on campus. House Bill 1572, proposed by Del. Todd Gilbert (R-Shenandoah Co.), would prohibit universities from making "rules or regulations limiting or abridging the ability of a student who possesses a valid concealed handgun permit ... from lawfully carrying a concealed handgun."

Wow, at least someone is trying to make inroads!

Yeah, VCU (here in Richmond) is the only university in the state with a law in State Code that says weapons are prohibited on campus. At Virginia Tech, and I think at James Madison, there has been debate about their policies banning weapons on campus, since they are public institutions.

Let's hope that passes and has a ripple effect.

Maybe by the time my daughter goes to college, it will be allowed in Texas. They would also need to lower the CHL age to 18.

(as I get more gray hairs at the very thought of my daughter going off to college)

Well they got it where active military can get them at 18. Thanks TSRA. That's a step in the right direction at least.
