Now that Texas legislators have passed a law allowing concealed weapons to be carried at colleges throughout the state, campus leaders, professors, students, and safety officials will turn to debating what areas of their campuses can be declared gun-free, and how much of each campus can be a designated a gun-free zone. Administrators will have over a year to devise new policies to comply with the legislation, which the state’s Republican governor, Greg Abbott, has said he will sign. Private colleges and universities will have the option of opting out of the requirement.
