Texas poised to become 2nd state allowing concealed handguns on university campuses

The idea of amateurs carrying guns is very frightening to me. All sorts of stupid accidents will occur which will cause people to lose their lives. But the Americans can obviously do what they want but if the people feel that they need to carry a gun, the society has failed them since it's the job of the police &government to protect the people. We do have a lot of hunting weapons in this country and the vast majority of male adult population has extensive military training but for some reason I have never thought about carrying a gun in my pocket. Why should I?

Driving a car on a Publicly funded road or flying a plane over other people's property have often practical use, carrying a gun on on a Publicly funded road or on people's property rarely have practical or acceptable uses. In Finland, driving a car or flying a plane require expensive training, minimum age of 18 years a medical checkup before you can get a license. I think those should be the minimum requirements for gun ownership too.

BTW, does Texas also allow concealed knives, knuckle irons and axes on university campus, or is it just guns?

In York, it's legal to shoot a Scotsman with a bow and arrow, except on Sundays. But on Sundays, you can go to Chester after midnight and shoot a Welsh person:

In Chester, you can only shoot a Welsh person with a bow and arrow inside the city walls and after midnight.
You may not shoot a Welsh person on Sunday with a longbow in the Cathedral Close in Hereford.
In Liverpool, it is illegal for a woman to be topless in public except as a clerk in a tropical fish store.
In London, companies may vote in local elections.
In York, excluding Sundays, it is perfectly legal to shoot a Scotsman with a bow and arrow.

No it isn't.

A Scotsman is a person and therefore killing them is a Common Law Offence with reference to the Coroners and Justice Act 2009 and the Homocide Act 1957.

The link you provided although it is a nice story, is a fib.

No.....Some people believe it is a right granted by the 2nd amendment. In fact it is an inalienable right. No piece of paper can tell me if I can or cannot defend myself and my family.

The idea that a person like you would have a say on whether I can posses a gun or not makes me throw up a bit in my mouth.
People like you just don't get it. You have grown up with and accepted fascism as a fact of you life that a true believer in liberty like me is a threat to your core.

And no law should ever be changed, or just that one?

Of course you can, not just with guns, there are ways to do it without guns.

BTW, do you often have to defend yourself and your family from a physical assault?
