Q1: What are your thoughts on the campus carry rule?

A1: To be honest I don’t even think about it anymore.  At first, I remember it being a big deal because the requirements to get a license wasn’t even that hard. People can be crazy, man.

Q2: How would you handle gun control at our school?

A2: Well, there wouldn’t be a campus carry rule and I would increase law enforcement. I think that would be the easiest way to handle it.

Q3: Do you think Texas State is doing a good job keeping their students safe?

A3: I think so. Nothing has popped off yet and every time there has been a situation its been handled.

Q1: What are your thoughts on the campus carry rule, at Texas State University?

A1: It worries me that there are people walking around that campus with guns. Its hard to not think the worst, after watching all these school shootings happen. Nothing big has happened there yet and I hope nothing ever does. So, I think they are doing a good job. 

Q2: How would you decide who gets to carry a concealed handgun?

A2: They would have to go through an intensive background check and training. It shouldn’t be as easy as it is for people to get a license. 

Q3: Anything else you would like to add?

A3: I think the school is doing a great job regarding our students safety.
