>>> in the state of texas tonight a bill that would require colleges to let students carry concealed weapons on campus is a step closer to reality. the state senate passed the bill over the objections of some lawmakers and college officials, who as of now can make their own rules regulating guns in campus classrooms. the bill still needs to pass the state house of representatives but expected to have enough votes to pass there too.
