Texas's campus carry law will be going into effect August 1, 2016. Some people feel it will create an unsafe atmosphere. Others are basically gun crazy. Texas A & M University (TAMU) will have to reconcile some of its guidelines for the student body—for example, if you are allowed to have licensed concealed weapons what can't you have?

From Texas A&M's residence guidelines—you know, dorm rules and regulations:

Projectiles
Propelling devices, such as rockets, catapults, slingshots, Nerf-type guns or any homemade device for the purpose of launching an object, are prohibited. Objects may not be thrown into or out of windows or onto or off of balconies.
