Campus carry is still a controversial issue at Texas State -- a year after the law went into effect on campus. Bobcat Update's Ashley Simpson has more.
The law allows individuals with a concealed handgun license to carry weapons on campus. Some students are concerned about the law and how it might affect campus safety. Texas State President Denise Trauth says administrators are aware of the issues and want to continue a dialogue with the campus community about concealed carry.

President Trauth said in a statement that the university may change where designated gun-free locations are on campus. Currently, concealed carry is prohibited in such places as the Child Development Center and the L-B-J Student Center. Proposals have been made to add faculty offices and testing centers to that list.
SB
Not everyone sees campus carry as a threat. There are varying perspectives when it comes to the law.
