 Currently in Texas, one place you can't carry your concealed gun is on college campuses.  But a Texas Senator is trying to change that. 

State Senator Jeff Wentworth of San Antonio is gearing up to propose a bill next year that would allow concealed carry on Texas campuses.  Gun shop owners here in Lubbock say they already have a lot of business from Tech students, and think the new bill would be more protection.  But those against the bill say there are several things that could go wrong with guns on campus.  Tech Police say they'll enforce the law...whatever it may be.

Currently, campus-goers can only carry their concealed guns on parking lots and garages.
