EL PASO, TEXAS ¨C More El Paso residents than ever before crowded into a class over the weekend to become certified to carry a concealed gun in public in Texas following this month¡¯s mass shooting at a Walmart store that killed 22 people.
Guadalupe Segovia, 35, was at the class with her two children. She said her military husband had long been pushing for her to get a concealed-carry license, which allows the holder to wear a gun hidden under their clothes or carry it in a purse when they are in public.
Segovia said she felt urgency to do the required training now after the attack hit close to home. ¡°I¡¯m still going to be scared, even carrying a weapon,¡± she said.
