It's a collision between private property rights and the second amendment. I have a right to carry a concealed firearm, but not necessarily the right to carry it on someone else's property if they forbid it.
Texas has taken a step in the direction that there are some instances where the 2nd Amendment can trump the 4th Amendment under certain circumstances. So is this a States' Rights issue (under the 10th), or is it an Equal Protection issue (under the 14th)?
I think that students would be much safer on a campus that permits concealed carry, but due to the complexity of the intersection of 4 different rights, this is a question that needs to be settled by the Supreme Court.
