FoxNews.com: Texas attorney general says professors face discipline if they ban guns
Texas’s new CCWs law allowing concealed carry in college buildings found itself its latest ally in Attorney General Ken Paxton. Paxton filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit from three professors seeking to block campus carry and alerted other anti-gun educators that they may face disciplinary action from preventing others from exercising their Second Amendment rights.
