Six of the largest university systems in Texas estimate that if a new law passes that requires them to allow guns on campus, it will cost them $59 million to install gun safes and to train
staff and security. Insurance premiums may go up. For example, Houston Community College says it will pay $900,000 a year more in insurance premium if the new law is passed.
These costs may be passed on to the students. Now that you have more information about the proposal, Do you ... strongly support? Support? Oppose? Or strongly oppose ... requiring
universities to allow people to bring guns on campus?

Idaho passed a similar law last year that required colleges and universities to allow people to carry concealed handguns on campus. In the second week of the new policy, a professor at
Idaho State University accidentally shot himself in the leg during a chemistry lab. Given that information, Do you ... strongly support? Support? Oppose? Or strongly oppose ... requiring

** Too few respondents of this type were interviewed for this data to be meaningful.
Statement of Methodology: About the Poll: This poll was conducted by telephone in the voice of a professional announcer. Respondent households were selected at random, using Random Digit
Dialed (RDD) sample provided by Survey Sampling, of Fairfield CT. All respondents heard the questions asked identically. The pollster's report includes the geography that was surveyed; the
date(s) interviews were conducted, the number of respondents who answered each question and the theoretical margin of sampling error for each question. Where necessary, respondents were
weighted using the most recent US Census estimates for age, gender, ethnic origin and region, to align the sample to the population. In theory, one can say with 95% certainty that the results
would not vary by more than the stated margin of sampling error, in one direction or the other, had the entire universe of respondents with home telephones been interviewed with complete
accuracy. There are other possible sources of error in all surveys that may be more serious than sampling error. These include: the difficulty of interviewing respondents who do not have a home
telephone; the refusal by some with home telephones to be interviewed; the order in which questions are asked; the wording of questions; the way and extent to which data are weighted; and the
manner in which specialized populations, such as likely voters, are determined. It is difficult to quantify the errors that may result from these and other factors. Research methodology, questionnaire
design and fieldwork for this survey were completed by SurveyUSA of Clifton, NJ. This statement conforms to the principles of disclosure of the National Council on Public Polls.
