Re: [Texascavers] grotto culture and concealed carry- Not at UT

[Rod Goke]

Andy, You might well be right about UT being one of the places where concealed carry license holders are not allowed to carry firearms (as confirmed by Charles' message). Bars might be another category of places where it is not allowed. I have not checked into these details, since I have no need to do so. That is because, thus far, I have not sought a concealed carry license and have not carried a concealed firearm myself. Those who do get these licenses go through training which includes information about where they can and cannot legally carry their guns, so they should know. Remember, however, that off duty police officers are legally allowed to carry firearms in many places where concealed carry license holders are not, so you might find that firearms are sometimes carried legally on UT property, even if not done so by concealed carry license holders. I trust the police to know those rules better than either of us. Also, if you read my message carefully, you will see that I never claimed that anyone (even the police officer) carried a concealed firearm on UT property. The question John ask, and which I answered, was whether *any* members of *any* of the grottos carry concealed firearms to grotto meetings, and it certainly is possible that some grottos might meet in places where concealed carry license holders (in addition to police officers) can legally carry their guns. Although I have not sought a concealed carry license and do not carry concealed firearms myself, I respect those who do so legally and responsibly, and I appreciate the service they perform and the contribution they make to public safety for the benefit of us all.
