Foard County News, SASS #77236 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Texas Senate approves bill to allow CCW holders to carryin college classrooms. Buried in the story is a poll about whether you think this is a good iea or not. Also interesting is picture unrelated to the bill showing Gov. Perry firing a sixshooter at some other event. Makes you wonder why they did not use a photo from VT instead??? CBS News -> Texas Senate approves guns in college classrooms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hacker, SASS #55963 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 It is a hot issue. We just had some of this issue in CO. Gun free zones are like open season. Let people defend themselves! I voted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocWard Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I find it interesting that the one State Senator who opposes it that CBS mentions was a UT student in 1966. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't a number of armed citizens help keep the Bell Tower Sniper from killing more than he did by shooting back at him? If I remember correctly, one of them was a professor with his deer rifle? I have just read about it, since I was about 6 months old when it occurred.

Foard County News, SASS #77236 Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Caption said he was shooting blanks.Yes, it does. Still the photo has nothing to do with the story. The bill has not even made its way to the Texas House yet. Why didn't CBS select a picture of a "No Guns" sign on a college campus or a student with a gun rack, etc? Anything with themes like that would be fit and support the story. If CBS had shown a picture of Perry at function with college students who wanted guns on campus, that would fit with the story. The picture they had really needed a caption about where CBS got the photo since it had no relationship with their story other than it had Perry with a pistol. I think most of us can guess why CBS selected that particular photo. Just be sure when you tell others about this article you ask them if they can figure out why CBS selected that picture...

Bama Red Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I found it especially arrogant that the Texas legislators allowed themselves the privilege of CCW where other permit holders are prohibited from doing so. I'm just not convinced their judgement is any better than mine in such circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
