Now that the law will pass. I'm personally excited about it. I really don't feel safe in one of the only places I cannot carry. My class has had this heated discussion over and over again. Most of what was said, was sadly outrageous and misinformed.Whats everyones thoughts on this?

Doesn't look good in TX right now - a reply of past years. Lots o' support and then committee tricks to kill it. This time with a primarily gun favoring legislature and Coyote Killin' Perry. So I guess if you buy a signed Coyote Killin' Special LCP you can't take it to school or keep it in the parking lot.

H.B. 506 passed by legislature and signed by governor back in March removes all no-carry zones except law enforcement stations and prisons, if one is willing to take gun training.
As of now, no training required.

AZ Campus Carry was changed to Right of Way and sidewalks in area, and that one is on the Governors desk. Step in the right direction...

Thanks for the update. If the bill gets through the Senate - imagine the horror in the House.

I'm not sure what the political calculus in AZ is now, as Gov. Brewer vetoed the campus carry bill, which was already watered down if not outright neutered: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...es-law-allowing-guns-public-college-campuses/
Seems as though Gov. Brewer is doing a 180 with respect to firearms legislation and her attitude toward personal carry. It is unclear what has caused her change in attitude.

Governor Brewer will pay for veto that in the next election if this isn't passed in some form before then. AZ folks don't like to screw with the second amendment.
As introduced, the bill would have allowed those with CCW permits to carry on school grounds.
As amended, it would have allowed lawful possession and carry on a public right of way. This was intended to allow guns on major streets that pass through campus, but could be interpreted broadly enough such that it could include most of campus. Does this include buildings? Probably not, and it would probably take a couple lawsuits to figure out just exactly what a public right of way is.
What is a more reasonable?
a) Brewer claims to to have rejected it because it was poorly written and unclear. She claims that even though she is a proponent of the 2nd Amendment and has a long history of supporting it, it doesn't automatically translate into a signature. Why? She claims, "While I support thoughtful expansion of where firearms should be allowed, the actual legislation that does so must be unambiguous and clear to protect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners."
b) She has secretly become a gun hating zealot.
For the love of god, read a newspaper. Sometimes I feel like we are our own worst enemy.
Also, would it have even been a victory if it were signed? Does it really do anyone any good if they can carry on campus except for in buildings?
