A: No, I have not. Heard about it, but I’ll have to look up
the details.
Q: How do you feel about campus carry?
A: I feel that the laws of Texas were always going to end up
like this. It was only a matter of time. People should be able to protect
themselves, these are very uncertain times.
Q: Have you done anything to voice this opinion to the university?
A: No, I haven’t.
Q: Would you have if you were still a student?
A: Probably, if asked or persuaded by a friend.
Q: Given the trends of gun violence, how do you feel campus carry will affect these trends?
A: I believe it won’t at all.
Q: Does the fact that the law passed affect the way you view the university?

A: I’m not a fan of it. I don’t think that more guns are the
answer and knowing that random students have them makes me uneasy.
Q: Do the extra requirements for getting a concealed carry
license make you feel any safer?
A: A little, but not by much. People can have poor judgement
when they are threatened or scared, so people might be inclined to use their
gun when it’s not necessary.
Q: Given the recent cases of racist incidents at Texas State
do you think that campus carry could escalate these situations to the point of
violence?
A: I think it could. I know I feel a little sketched out
when walking campus at night, so add a racist with a gun to the mix and there
could be problems.
Q: Would campus carry have affected your decision to go to Texas
State?
A: No, but it would have definitely changed how I walked
around campus at night my freshman year.
Q: Has the approval of campus carry affected the way you
view the university?
A: Not really, I just don’t agree with it personally.
