Texas State Issues Recommended Campus Carry Rules

In recommending how Texas State University should comply with a new state campus carry law, a task force says it shouldn’t provide storage for handguns but should ban the guns from places where students are counseled or children come to campus.

The suggestions, which were issued this week, won't immediately go into effect. University President Denise Trauth is seeking input on the proposals, which need the Texas State University System Board of Regents’ approval. That probably won’t happen until the spring. The law doesn't go into effect until Aug. 1.

The university has called three public forums for next week to discuss the ideas.

The task force raised cost and security concerns about providing gun storage on campus. It noted that Texas State has many satellite parts of campus that aren't attached to the main campus in San Marcos, so the university would probably have to build multiple storage facilities. That, the task force said, would "greatly increase cost to the university."
