Texas lawmakers are considering a bill that would allow concealed handguns on
college campuses. Megan O'Connell has more in this Bobcat Update.
The matter has come up before and is very controversial. The Associated Student
Government at Texas State last semester voted in favor of allowing concealed
handguns, but A-S-G's president vetoed the bill. Now, the issue is being debated
in Austin. State Senator Jeff Wentworth has introduced a bill that would lift
the prohibition against carrying guns on campus. The University Police
Department at Texas State has not taken a formal stand on the issue. Officer Sue
Stewart says there are pros and cons.
SB
Opinions vary on campus. Senior David Sellers says allowing concealed handguns
could come in handy.

However, Freshman Alyssa Stevens says she doesn't see the need.
SB
STAND-UP In the end it will be University who makes the final decision whether
concealed handguns will be allowed on campus. For Bobcat Update, I'm Megan
O'Connell.
