Faculty and students are beginning to leave – or fail to attend – the University of Texas because of the state’s impending guns-in-the-classroom law.
Not a bad idea to leave, particularly because this is the beginning, with the real aim open carry.

Wonder how much tuition is going to be raised in order to cover U of T’s insurance coverage? If weapons on campus becomes SOP, how many insurance carriers are going to drop TX unis? Suicide is among the leading causes of death for young adults, allow guns on campus and the numbers are bound to spike. But it must be all worth it in case that one random armed nut barges into a Lit class hellbent on wiping out Soroyan scholars, the good ol boys can defuse that situation….

charlie: I’ve been doing most of my thinking about suicide on this one, too. It’s much more likely than anything else, especially, as you say, with the college demographic. It’ll be interesting to see if UT sees a spike.

UD, one suicide, one case brought and won by the family, and what will be the result of the millions that will be awarded? I don’t want to come off as a heartless accountant, but I highly doubt that TX public unis can absorb the cost if insurance carriers dropped them due to this ridiculous law…

It’s also worth thinking about increased numbers of deadly frat/post-football game fights… Drunk excited stupid people many of whom are carrying guns — that sort of thing…
