I love It When The Left Proves Me Right
The really good news is that the Fifth Circuit has rejected a constitutional challenge to campus carry in Texas. The State allows concealed permit holders to carry on college campuses which got some professorial panties in a bunch. The law did not let the Profs prohibit concealed firearms in their own classrooms (some administrative areas on campus are still verboten), so they sued claiming “the law and policy violate(s) the First Amendment, Second Amendment, and Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.”
The Court tossed it out, but what’s that got to do with the left proving me right? Plenty.
