Meanwhile, the state is also on the verge of passing “open-carry” legislation, which would allow residents to carry weapons on their shoulders or in a holster out in the open, a drastic overhaul of current gun laws. Both are being led by Republicans, who at one point appeared likely to attach the “campus-carry” bill to the “open-carry” proposal, according to the Dallas Morning News.

But not everyone in Texas supports the legislation.

“There’s so much violence already and to just give immature students guns, it’s just ridiculous,” Anaid Gonzalez, a sophomore at Lone Star College in Houston, told NBC News.
