Texas Keeps Trying to Lead the Way

Texas Senate OKs guns at colleges - Politics AP - MiamiHerald.com: "AUSTIN — The Senate gave preliminary approval Tuesday to legislation that would allow concealed handguns at colleges and universities, but with less than two weeks left in the 2009 Legislature, the bill's ultimate outcome is uncertain.

'That's the real question. I don't know the answer to that,' said Sen. Jeff Wentworth, R-San Antonio, when asked whether there is enough time to win final passage in the Senate and rush the bill through the House before the June 1 adjournment.

The bill would allow Texans who have concealed-handgun permits to carry the weapons into college and university buildings, classrooms and dormitories. Wentworth said permit holders can currently carry guns onto campuses, but not into buildings."

It would have been a blast, so to speak.

Why not just let 'em have hand grenades, or dynamite and blasting caps?
