Texas community colleges allow guns starting Tuesday

EL PASO - State law permitting authorized gun owners to carry hidden handguns at higher education institutions to expand to Texas community colleges from Tuesday

The Texas State Senate Bill No. 11 is also known as the Campus Transportation Law and permits licensed people to carry handguns hidden in universities and university venues and buildings. In August 2016 laws were enforced at four-year universities, but Community College had compliance requirements for a further year.

In the El Paso Community College system of 28,000 students officials said they are ready to abide by the law and are willing to keep on alarming about possible security issues

"Whenever there is a new law, our job is to be vigilant, we first confirm that everyone is not breaking the law," said Joseph Barragan, police chief of El Paso Community College I mentioned.

Pistols are currently permitted at all universities and university campuses throughout the state, but the pistols must be worn under it or put in a wallet or backpack carried by a person. He said basically that showing public guns including the visible holster is illegal anywhere on campus.

"This is a bit worrisome for us, we are just ahead of us," Barragan said, providing 40 more police officers of the police with more aggressive shooting training. "We are ready to deal with everything"

The El Paso Community College Program begins on August 21 but on campus we offer a variety of activities throughout the year, such as continuing education programs for adolescents, adolescents and adults, and summer camps.

"I know that people need to feel safe, but most people are not mature enough at the university," he said. "So let's say you give a pistol to someone.What happens when they encounter relationship problems? I think the whole is the secret of disaster."

Lentria spent three semesters at the community college Valle Verde campus, but I have never seen or experienced violent cases on campus that I believe that legislation is required on campus.

Allow community colleges to establish areas without guns, such as university parenting centers, patient care facilities, science laboratories, university sports events, individual designated offices

The gun will also not be restricted by state-wide programs that El Paso's early college high school, high school student can get high school diploma and associate degree in the end of 4 years.

Mr. Barragan said the library could be a temporary gun free area during child activities. Community College Hazardous chemicals of Health Science Building of Rio Grande Campus are marked as permanent construction without guns

According to the Texas Public Safety Bureau data, there are approximately 15 million active gun license holders in Texas. Most applicants who got permission last year are 43 to 61 years old.

Community college instructor in Texas state recently wore bulletproof vest and military helmet at the end of the grade. From August this year he did this to protest the law allowing individuals to carry hidden handguns at Texas public community colleges. In 2016, the same law allowed shooting by a four-year institution. In some states guns are often allowed. Public universities in Utah and Arkansas must allow anyone with an appropriate license to carry hidden guns on campus, including buildings on campus. In Tennessee, full-time employees, not students, may have hidden weapons.

Students and teachers across the country oppose the law permitting guns at the university campus

It is possible to arm university staff and students. In the fall of 2016, Tennessee and Texas began to allow universities and universities to bring hidden weapons to university buildings and classrooms. To protect our lives, the state passes gun laws, but will you allow the use of weapons hidden in universities and universities? This law is not only ridiculous but also dangerous. Is having a weapon concealed at a university or university really can not stop a crime? There are two bad things about guns on college campus: First of all, a more violent incident may occur with a gun explosion. Secondly, the concentration and learning ability of the students are adversely affected. Guns and learning are not closely related. In fact, this solution is a powerful school security system that monitors and monitors the entry and exit of everyone on campus.
