AUSTIN, TEXAS – -(Ammoland.com)- On Wednesday, July 11, 2018, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit will hear oral arguments in Jennifer Glass, et al v. Ken Paxton, et al­, a lawsuit challenging both Texas’ campus carry law and the University of Texas at Austin’s campus carry policy.

The case will be heard during the court’s AM session, in the En Banc courtroom of the John Minor Wisdom United States Court of Appeals Building in New Orleans.

In February, Students for Concealed Carry (SCC) and the Students for Concealed Carry Foundation (SCCF) filed a joint amicus curiae brief in this case. Because the case is pending, SCC has no further comment at this time.

Re: “we have more killing than we have ever had” This is absolutely false. You are carrying the anti-gunners’ water for them when you make such a claim; they argue that the increase in the number of guns in our society has led to more violence. Exactly the opposite is true. The murder rate today (despite a small uptick in the last couple of years) is less than half of what it was 20 years ago, and other violent crimes have seen similar decreases. While the reason for such dramatic drops in violent crime is partly demographics, at least some… Read more »

If they are already qualified for CC then they should be able to carry on campus. To many colleges are unprotected killing zones. Stay alert. Stay armed. Practice. The police will only show up AFTER your dead.
