Thank You, Texas Legislature
Tarleton State University, a part of the Texas A&M system, allows campus carry at the insistence of the Texas Legislature so that Texas college and university students can be safer. Seems to be working so far.
A student at Tarleton State University accidentally fired a gun at a campus residence hall Wednesday, officials said.
The student, who is trained and licensed to carry, reported accidentally discharging a firearm about 6:30 p.m. in Integrity Hall, a co-ed dorm that primarily houses second-year students, university spokesman Harry Battson said.
There were no injuries, and property damage was “minimal,” he said.
Because guns make you just a tad safer than walking into a lion’s den with pork chops in your back pocket.
