Texas wants guns allowed on campus.

huffington post- AUSTIN, Texas — Texas is preparing to give college students and professors the right to carry guns on campus, adding momentum to a national campaign to open this part of society to firearms.
More than half the members of the Texas House have signed on as co-authors of a measure directing universities to allow concealed handguns. The Senate passed a similar bill in 2009 and is expected to do so again. Republican Gov. Rick Perry, who sometimes packs a pistol when he jogs, has said he's in favor of the idea.
Supporters of the legislation argue that gun violence on campuses, such as the mass shootings at Virginia Tech in 2007 and Northern Illinois in 2008, show that the best defense against a gunman is students who can shoot back.
"It's strictly a matter of self-defense," said state Sen. Jeff Wentworth, R-San Antonio. "I don't ever want to see repeated on a Texas college campus what happened at Virginia Tech, where some deranged, suicidal madman goes into a building and is able to pick off totally defenseless kids like sitting ducks."

This sounds like a fantastic idea. How great would it be if you were able to pack heat on campus? Really great, that's how great! Just think about how the college experience would change. Some frat brothers won't let you into their party? I think they'll reconsider with a glock in the face. Roommate gets on your case for partying while he's trying to sleep? Fire a few shots in the air, that oughta shut him up. And everybody knows that chicks dig guns. Really, it's scientific. Even grades would improve across the board if professors knew that all of their students were strapped. I really can't imagine any scenario where this could lead to a problem.
