“Being a veteran and former Army Ranger, I have a heart for public safety and feel as though I can evaluate potential areas for problems to arise”
A conservative student group at Southern Methodist University is petitioning for concealed carry rights on campus, expressing hope the institution’s new president will be amenable to the change.“Being a veteran and former Army Ranger, I have a heart for public safety and feel as though I can evaluate potential areas for problems to arise,” he said via text. “One of these areas was the fact that SMU is a ‘weapons free zone.
Texas law allows students to carry handguns on public university campuses if they are at least 21 and have a concealed carry permit, but the law does not apply to private universities like Southern Methodist University, according toPatten said the Turning Point chapter launched its concealed carry campaign in the fall, right before learning that the university’s former president was stepping down.
In November through an official declaration letter, the TPUSA chapter leaders made contact with the Office of the President for the first time since 2015, he said. “Following this we received the news our current President will be stepping down… This put a pause on our initiative,” Patten told“Given his past position was at the University of , a place that did allow campus carry … He is very familiar with the policy and how it can be implemented safely and efficiently on campus,” he told“We are currently in the process of drafting a new declaration letter in hopes of the new administration being open to working with us,” he said.
There is nothing unique about establishments of adult education — especially the government-run ones — that demands they be operated as rights-free zones. In fact, doing so creates a deliberate message of extended infantilization that is frankly deleterious.
