Houston Matters Highlights Conversations About Campus Carry

During this fundraising week, we're highlighting coverage of a number of important issues and developments that we've felt compelled to revisit time and again over the course of the last year, like pensions, the state of the oil and gas industry and efforts to mitigate traffic.

Today, we review the long road area college campuses took this year toward establishing and implementing the state's new campus carry law. We hear reactions from faculty, students, and staff, as well as administrators and law enforcement responsible for carrying out the new law.
