In the article Charlie Strong and guns and campus carry talks about how Strong and how he has been able to ban his players owning handguns. The University of Texas has made it clear. And, in a preliminary ruling in a pending lawsuit, a federal judge has made it clear. Under the new campus carry law, UT personnel cannot ban students with handgun licenses from bringing those guns, concealed, to class. But despite the university's rule Strong has banned his players from owning guns. In this article John Bianco, UT assistant athletic director for media relations, told me the no-guns rule is not a ban on legal gun ownership. But there are restrictions on where players’ guns can be carried.
The author Ken Herman brings the question of should the professors be able to ban their students of carrying guns like strong has. The professors are subject to university discipline if they ban guns in their classrooms. Unlike Strong which has stated that his players cannot bring guns to the football facilities or at football functions.
I feel like the author is bringing the attention to the issue of guns on campus by stating the cases of banning guns for students shouldn't be just for Charlie Strong and his players. Every professor should be able to make the same decision for their students without punishment.
