Texas campus carry

[loadmoreammo]

Am I doing these reply's right? If so, Thanks for the info!

 

[loadmoreammo]

Got it! Thanks!

 

[deemus]

Yeah, that really rubbed me the wrong way.
I don't want to scare off a potential new guy. Especially someone who very obviously needs some proper guidance.

Pilgrim, everything you wrote there was pretty dead on. It's what I should have written, had I not gotten pissed off at what I read.

Hothead...

lol

Notice no one has not heard anything about that chl aggie student who fired at the College Station shooter and probably saved many lives. That prosecutor is really cool for that even though the student was in violation for having carried on campus.

Generally speaking, use the "reply with quote" button if you're going to post specific responses to specific posts...

Did he carry on campus? That shooting occurred in my neighborhood which is not on campus.

UNLESS HE CARRIED IN A BUILDING OR DURING A SCHOOL SPONSORED EVENT HE WAS NOT "IN VIOLATION".

It doesn't matter. No law prohibits campus carry.

I think I know the answer but will toss into the mix to make sure I am on track.
Situation, I drive my daughter to Central Texas College and drop her off, I never exit my truck, just drop her off mid campus. Am I OK to have weapon in truck?

Also a good way to make us all look like a bunch of assholes who do what they want regardless of what laws are in place.

So... I guess Suzanna Gratia Hupp would have been an ashole if she carried into Luby's?

I don't think anyone was upset at the OP for exercising his right to carry. People were a little upset with the possibility that, if he was caught carrying someplace he shouldn't be, not only would he be arrested but his actions would reflect poorly on gun rights as a whole. The liberal media is looking for any excuse to say, "See? We told you that gun owners are law-breakers even when given (reasonable) means to carry legally".

Whether or not we agree that those laws are reasonable is beside the point. It is what it is right now and, until we can change the laws to more closely follow the original intent of the Second Amendment, we have to be careful with how we present ourselves to the public eye.

Of course. penal code 46.03.

If you have a CHL, you can walk her right up to the door with your handgun on.

Thanks, that is how I read it also, but figured I would ask to be sure. I don't have my CHL yet, so no walking to the door, yet

I know that. The point I was trying to make is whether you can carry on campus or not is moot. He wasn't on campus when he fired at the shooter.

No.
First of all, I am a hothead sometimes. I readily admit that I'm an imperfect person, and people who've been around the forum know that I've been wrong on numerous occasions.
The part of the OP's post where he typed "I may have already", followed by the devil smiley and the "shhhhhhh" alarmed me. It was the kind of "hey guys, look at what I did" kind of statement that the gun grabbers (who most assuredly monitor this site!) will pounce upon in a heartbeat.

Would Suzanna Gratia Hupp have been an asshole if she carried into Luby's on that tragic afternoon? No!
She would have broken the law in place at the time, but possibly ended that infamous slaughter quicker than it did end.

By the way, OP. The following is the answer you were looking for before my hotheaded ass made a bigger ass of myself.

As said, you CAN carryvon a school campus. Just not in a building or where a school sponsored event is taking place.

see Texas Penal Code 46.03.

I answered him in post 5.

Yeah, but I'm better looking........ lol

Do any of ya'll know if it's legal for a ccw holder to carry on campus?? (I may have already) sssshhhhhhhh!!

I dont really know exactly what it is you have done, but please read more postings by Bithabus and TI. Asking questions does not need to involve making yourself look like you have done something wrong. Many people on gun forums "think" they know what is legal, but they dont. "Just look at the negativity some people have posted toward yourself". Those people have no damn clue what exactly it is that you have done, but they are already willing to throw rocks at you.
Carrying on campus IS LEGAL. When addressing Texas CHL laws on school grounds, you must be educated with the definitions of the property. The law does not say you cant, so you need to understand why you can.
(3) "Premises" means a building or a portion of a building. The term does not include any public or private driveway, street, sidewalk or walkway, parking lot, parking garage, or other parking area.

(2) on the premises where a high school, collegiate, or professional sporting event or interscholastic event is taking place, unless the license holder is a participant in the event and a handgun is used in the event;
Many people are ready to jump at the chance to tell you how wrong you are and how bad you make all of us look. In reality, they need to learn the law for themselves.
When discussing campus carry, two importants words you need to define is "Premises and Building". For other code's you need to understand the definition for "Body".
One point I want to stress is never ever do what your doing without a complete understand of the Code's. If you cant explain it, then you dont know it.
If you did not enter the campus building, then you have done nothing wrong unless you were on the grounds of a school event.
So yes, CHL is allowed on campus if done legal.
