A Blueprint For Balanced State Campus Carry Laws By Aric Short* * Professor of Law and Director, Professionalism and Leadership Program, Texas A&M University School of Law. J.D., The University of Texas School of Law; A.B., Georgetown University. I served as the law school’s designee on the Texas A&M University’s Campus Carry Policy Task Force. All opinions herein are my own and do not necessarily represent those of Texas A&M University. I am grateful for helpful comments on ideas expressed in this article from Andrew P. Morriss, Lynne Rambo, and Meg Penrose, and I received extraordinary research assistance from Elizabeth Spencer Berthiaume. And none of this would have been possible without the love and support of my family. 402 Short Table of Contents I.
