Aggies Organize for Concealed Carry On Campus

Gig ‘em!

A team of Texas A&M students will be heading to Austin to lobby state legislatures to support the concealed carry on campus bill on behalf of Students for Concealed Carry on Campus. The group has yet to determine a date of departure.  

Though Senate Bill 354 was rejected in 2009 by state legislatures, the issue is being readdressed. One of the primary authors is Republican Sen. Jeff Wentworth of San Antonio, who said those who carry concealed handguns on campus would hinder a shooter from acting. 

The officers of the group said arming students and staff would make campus safer.

“We feel it is a good time to start sending constituents to meet with their representatives down at the Capitol and share their story to show how removing this self-defense prohibition is important to them,” said Derek Titus, a senior industrial engineering major and co-chairman of the group.

The organization is planning on sending those students who have contributed most and are most knowledgeable, or as State Director Chase Jennings said, the organization is planning to send “as many as can fit in the car.”

  5. This isn’t surprising.  Ask Jim Rome what he thinks of the Corps at Texas A&M.

    Here’s just a small sample:

    “Go to East Texas, tour every small town, and ask every red neck with a fifth-grade education why they cheer for A&M and wear maroon. That is your fan base. This is why you are perceived by the educated masses as stupid.”


    Ouch!
