Texas Edittorial: Open Carry in College Classes is wrong.

Patrick, Abbott, House Speaker Joe Straus and other lawmakers should listen to the warnings of campus police chiefs, administrators and others who have to deal with the consequences. New UT System Chancellor William McRaven says the bills would create “a less-safe environment, not a safer one,” a position other university presidents echo. We think the former U.S. Navy admiral, who organized and executed the special ops raid that killed Osama bin Laden, knows something about guns.
Campus police chiefs say it is more likely that a gun will be improperly stored or accidentally discharged than its owner will need a firearm on campus for self-defense. Medical experts warn that putting guns in close proximity to students who already may be having trouble dealing with the stress of college is an unnecessary risk.
The legislation seems a solution in search of a problem. The majority of students couldn’t legally carry a firearm anyway because they haven’t reached the legal age of 21. Consider this: Even soldiers at U.S. military bases don’t carry sidearms unless they are training.
Lawful gun owners know there are places where they can’t carry firearms, like elementary schools, polling places, airports and prisons. Colleges and universities are mostly gun-free zones now. Keep them that way.
WHAT HE SAID
“As chancellor of a system educating over 210,000 students and with over 90,000 faculty and staff, my utmost concern is their safety.” — UT System Chancellor William McRaven, in a letter opposing campus carry bill in the Legislature
