You CAN legally carry on campus with a CHL, unless you attend a private school that has given you 30.06 notice.
Of course, you cannot carry in a building or a portion of a building
As a student, I see no reason to take a gun to school if it's not on my person IN class...
Thanks
My professor was stating that there was some kind of movement to allow CHL's to carry to class legally. And in his words.."That would be my last day here".

Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! The bill to change the law about carrying on campus died in the last legislature. It is still a Third-Degree felony to carry on the premises of an educational institution, at any off-campus event sponsored by an educational institution, or at any athletic even sponsored by an educational institution or the UIL. "Premises" is defined as building or portion thereof. It is legal to have a gun in parking lots, on streets, or sidewalks, but there is still the matter that most colleges will expel a student or fire an employee who has a gun in their car. I follow this closely, since I teach at a small, private university. TX Investigator is right about on campus as long as you don't enter a "building or portion thereof". But, if you walk into the building, even with a CHL, you can be toasted.

I would just be curious as to what law they quote...most CCW instructors I know are on the right track but quote non-existent law. The "castle doctrine law" actually varies from state to state. While in Texas you can carry in your vehicle, I dont know of any law that states your vehicle is an "extension of your home". What is DOES say is that you can use deadly force if someone is during the comission of several different crimes, tries to get to you in your vehicle, essentially Texas withdrew any "requirement to retreat" if you are in a place in which you are legally entitled to be.It's that way with the Castle Doctrine Law, how it got passed. I can go try and find it.
