Texas Students Protest Campus Carry Law


On August 1st, 2016, Texas new “Campus Carry Law”, went into effect. The law allows concealed carry of guns on Texas Campuses. However, at The University of Texas at Austin, students are protesting the law, by illegally displaying sex toys in public.

I find that public nudity is more offensive than the display of a gun.

The law in place, does not allow one to publicly display their gun. Therefore, if there is a shooter situation, the assailant, will be easily identifiable, by the public display of their weapon. Therefore, this gives an armed student, the opportunity, to distinguish that they are in a shooter situation and use their weapon to defend themselves and others.

Texas also has a decency law which prohibits the public display of sex toys. I find this law to be reasonable. I find it to be the same thing as public nudity, which is inappropriate for children to see.

The message the protesters are communicating is that The State of Texas is hypocritical to allow guns on campus but not the public display of sex toys. As I have just described, that point is not logical.

Public nudity is more offensive than the carrying of a weapon.
