AUSTIN (CBSDFW.COM) - The University of Texas will allow concealed handgun license holders to carry their guns into the classroom.
The president of the university announced the campus carry rules today.
He said he doesn't believe handguns belong on a university campus but has to abide by a new state law.
Texas state law requires all public universities to allow licensed concealed handguns owners in the classroom by August 1, but does give some leeway to schools, allowing for gun-free zones.
Concealed carry license holders must carry the gun at all times or keep it securely locked in their vehicle or in a dorm in a gun safe.
