Texas Allows Guns in Colleges on 50th Anniversary of Mass Shooting

The controversial law requires public universities in Texas to permit concealed weapons in campus buildings.

Texas has become the eighth US state to allow guns on campuses, a controversial decision that comes on the 50th anniversary of a deadly sniper rampage at a university.

The law, which was passed last year, from Monday requires public universities in Texas to permit concealed weapons in campus buildings, although schools can impose limits on where guns are allowed.
