The legislation to allow concealed weapons on college campuses has hit a snag in the Texas state senate, the Star Telegram reports. However, the bill’s creator and sponsor Senator Jeff Wentworth says that this is just a temporary delay, and he’s sure that it will ultimately pass and become law.
The current versions under consideration in the Senate and the House give “opt-out” options to private universities, after consultations with students and faculty.
At the moment, Wentworth concedes that he doesn’t have the required number of votes to bring the bill up for debate even with Lt. Governor David Dewhurst’s recent remarks in support of the measure.
