1 year in for campus carry at UNT and no problems

Who would have guessed licensed concealed carriers have caused no issues on campus ?? no blood on the quad, no teachers shot over bad grades..

The beginning of the 2017 fall semester marked one year since campus carry took effect in public universities across Texas. According to the University of North Texas Police Department, the law has not changed the campus environment in any significant way.

"We have had no incidents since the law passed or since the law went into effect of criminal acts by license-to-carry holders," UNT Police Chief Ed Reynolds said. "We have had cases that involved weapons on campus, but the individuals that were carrying were not license-to-carry holders."

University of Texas police responded to four gun-related incidents in the past 12 months, but only one — involving a photo shoot for a newspaper — can be tied to the controversial state law permitting students to carry concealed handguns in most campus buildings.

Campus carry went into effect Aug. 1, about two weeks before the fall semester opened at UT. Opponents of Senate Bill 11 feared there would be a rise in gun-related violence at the campus.

But as the one-year anniversary approaches, those concerns have been unfounded.
