Two Black male, betweens the ages of late 20's to 30's, light skinned, medium build with short curly hair.
WEAPON:
Black semi-automatic handgun
VEHICLE:
Dark colored 4 door car.
SYNOPSIS:
At approximately 2:00pm on Sunday September 16, 2012, at the 3800 block of Holman Street near Scott Street, A University of Houston student reported to UHDPS that two unidentified black males, driving a dark colored vehicle, drove up to him while he was walking westbound on Holman Street. The driver displayed a handgun and demanded his property and cell phone. After the student complied with the suspects, they fled the scene headed eastbound on Holman towards Cullen Blvd. The University of Houston student was not injured.
Thank God he wasn't hurt, but this is just another reason I am disgusted that there is a law prohibiting CCW on college campuses. I don't know how they did it in Colorado, but to me this is extremely important, and a law I'd like to see get passed VERY SOON, the protecting of the right to the licensed carry of a concealed weapon, on campus, INSIDE the buildings. Because even though you can walk through campus armed legally..that does you no good if you can't go inside the buildings...nobody goes to campus to NOT go inside a building.
I see alot of people pushing for the right to openly carry in Texas, which is also something I am in full support of (although I'd still carry concealed, I think it should be up to the person whether or not he or she wants to conceal their firearm...makes no since that they can carry a hidden gun, but not have one showing), but I honestly see this as more important. Because the law that forbids students to CCW on college campuses, leaves them unarmed and defenseless, sometimes in VERY high crime areas, like Houston's 3rd Ward.
