    A state university ID card could be issued to students who are not state residents.
    A state handgun license is only issued to residents of the State.

      @Rick: Once they’re at the state university, they are residents of the state: “As a student, you have a constitutional right to register and vote in the place you truly consider to be ‘home’ — whether that’s your parents’ house, your apartment, or your dorm room.” See this.

This person now feels as if they’re living in the “Hee Haw” state given that Texas is pro-gun and that Texas Governor Rick Perry said: “Being gay is like being an alcoholic.” My relation ended our last conversation saying: “Beam me up Scotty!”
