Concealed means concealed. However, as others have mentioned, in Texas, all academic buildings are off-limits for concealed carry, so you don't even need to make the decision. Of course, if you park nearby, you can leave a firearm in your car even on school property.

Who said anything about buying out USPS?

Oh, excuse me. I wasn't aware that you were privy to the operational strategies of both UPS and FedEx. When you get back from the next board meeting, I'd be interested in hearing an update (it helps me plan my investments).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_Express_Statutes Lysander Spooner was able to deliver mail better than the post office in the 1840s. I have no doubt that FedEx and UPS could also do it if there weren't federal laws against it.

It's threads like these that make me worry about the future, not only in terms of gun rights, but individual freedom and liberty in general. If half of supposed second amendment supporters don't get it, how can we expect everyone else to?

Ah yes, the old "it had better be made in America" mentality. I can't wait until it goes out of fashion.

While I won't disagree that the GO got lucky (he should have shot the BG without any warning after the BG shot the shop owner) I think it is foolish to say that there is nothing to suggest that the BG would have shot anyone else. As soon as he shot the shop owner, the BG made it quite clear that...

I know the ACLUs stance on firearms. You aren't telling me anything that I don't already know, so I'm not quite sure what the purpose is for your post. I wish the ACLU did more to support the second amendment, as I too agree that it is necessary to defend our other rights. However, their lack of...

Your comparison is invalid, as the Brady Campaign actively fights against the second amendment (and therefore against liberty), whereas the ACLU does not. As another poster mentioned previously, if anything, the ACLU is completely ambivalent when it comes to second amendment issues. The day...

That's quite an assumption to make about someone that you don't know, and also unfortunate considering second amendment issues are the primary reason I am attending law school. Let's just say I get it (more so than you'll ever know). While the second amendment may be important in securing...

And do not make the mistake of opposing a multi-issue national organization because of a disagreement with a single issue. While the ACLU may not be a supporter of individual gun ownership, it does a lot of good work to defend our many other civil liberties, many of which are just as important...

A basic understanding of Constitutional law would answer that question. The Constitution is merely the document that limits the powers and privileges granted to the federal government. Nothing more. So, it does apply everywhere (in theory), but it only applies to the federal government. Over...

You would only be a racist (or an idiot) if you made unsupported inferences from the data you present. For example, one might use that statistic to claim that since a higher percentage of black people are in correctional facilities, black people in general must commit more crimes (per capita)...

Between 2 and 4 per gun.

There's a big difference between favoritism and treating each person based on the situation. Zero tolerance policies are not healthy in any situation.
