Hello,
The following is from a news story about the latest shooting on a Texas college campus.
Guns are not allowed to be carried on college campuses in Texas. But earlier this week, Texas Senator Brian Birdwell introduced legislation in response to that would allow students to openly carry concealed weapons "on university property for personal protection."
What is the meaning of 'openly carry concealed weapons'? I understand that some states in the US allow carrying concealed weapons (for example, hidden under the clothes) with a valid license, and some states allow carrying weapons openly (in plain sight). If this understanding is not correct, please let me know.
Thank you
