Update on SB 182 : this bill, which will make it legal to
carry firearms on campuses of higher education, is still currently in the
Criminal Justice committee. It can be assumed that this bill is not high on the
priority list or that is being heavily debated to further its likelihood of
success in the Senate and House. Further updates are to come as the bill
continues in the Texas Legislature.
What does a law like this look like in other
parts of the world? Well I studied abroad in the summer of 2011 at the University of Melbourne in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. I decided to look into what kinds of laws
this university has about firearms. I could not find anything, which then made
me believe that the state laws could have something to do with it.
I looked at the Victoria state website and it outlines the guidelines to receive
a license to possess and carry a firearm. However, there is not any information
outlining where one can and cannot carry their firearms, which then makes me
assume that Victoria, Australia does not have the same issues as the United
States does in terms of guns.
