Texas passes allowing concealed carry at colleges

Victor Luckerson has a Time article about gubs in Texas:

The Texas state legislature passed a bill recently that would allow people to carry concealed guns in buildings on public college campuses, and Governor Greg Abbott is expected to sign it.
The new law would remove a blanket ban on guns on campus at public Texas colleges, though school administrators could still ban guns from specific buildings, CNN reports. Backers of the bill claim it will provide increased individual protection to properly licensed gun-owners, but opponents argue campus shootings could increase and schools will have to pay up to boost security.
Texas is the first state to have a campus-carry bill reach the governor’s desk. Private universities won’t be affected by the new bill, and openly carrying a weapon on a public college campus would remain prohibited.

Rico says why are Texans so much smarter about these things than everyone else? (You'd think people would learn from experience, but noooo...)
