The state’s new campus carry law takes effect Monday (Aug. 1, 2016). Campuses across Texas have been preparing by establishing their own rules and policies as dictated by the new law. Privately owned colleges can opt out, but public colleges and universities must comply.
We hear from Marcilynn Burke, chair of the University of Houston’s campus carry work group.
Then we talk with Andrew Jackson Yoo, a UH Downtown alum who wants to see a city-wide campus carry task force to help “smooth out” implementation of the law.
And we talk with UHPD Chief Ceaser Moore about what the new law going into effect means for campus police.
