In Texas, it isn't surprising to see cowboy hats, belt buckles and boots glistening under the sun. But there's one piece missing from the cowboy ensemble when Texans mosey on over to school campuses: a gun.
According to state law, guns are banned in several places, including schools, places of worship, correction facilities, bars, sporting events and other locations. Currently, individuals with concealed handgun licenses must check their weapon at the door, but maybe not for long.
In late April, Gov. Rick Perry called for "gun freedom" across Texas and said students should be allowed to protect themselves on campus. Arlington senior Andrew Sugg couldn't agree more.
Sugg is the leader of the Baylor chapter of Students for Concealed Carry on Campus, a national group in favor of gun freedom in schools.
"I believe anyone with a CHL should be able to carry a gun everywhere," he said. "Most people don't even have to fire, just showing it is usually good enough (to control a situation)."
Sugg, who has been a licensed gun carrier for almost two years, recalls a time near campus in 2005 when the mere presence of his weapon distilled a potentially dangerous individual.
While Sugg was having a cup of coffee at Common Grounds, a homeless man started "aggressively" asking for money, he said. Feeling threatened, Sugg called the police, but before an officer made it to the scene, the man pulled a knife on another customer.
"I drew my weapon, the guy saw me, dropped the knife and ran," Sugg said. "I just put it back in my holster and went back to my coffee."
While this situation ended positively, Fair Oaks Ranch senior Alexandra Neville, president of Baylor Democrats, said she thinks gun control on and off campus are entirely different issues.
"What you do with your gun on your own time and for your own protection is up to you, but college campuses have their own protective measures and having students carry guns isn't one of them," she said.
Neville said students shouldn't have to worry about carrying their own gun to protect themselves because that responsibility falls more on the school and law enforcement.
"It's my belief that if you're trying to solve the problem of violence on campus, the last you would want to do is allow more people to carry weapons," she said.
Instead, Neville believes the problem could be combated with increased school counseling and preventive programs at an earlier age.
Sugg doesn't see it that way, and said he hopes people will move past the idea that "guns are bad" and recognize how they can be good, too.
"Most people who fear guns don't understand them at all," he said. "They have a Hollywood image of the gun being for the bad guy."
Josh Felker, U.S. Army veteran and owner of LoneStar Handgun in Killeen, agrees with Sugg.
"It's very important to expose people to guns and educate them about gun safety," he said. "Once people learn to use them, they usually aren't afraid (of guns) anymore."
In response to the shooting at Virginia Tech, Felker offered a free handgun-licensing course for teachers and students from May to July. Felker said around 40 people took advantage of the promotion, and while one student traveled from Oklahoma, most participants were local.
"There were quite a few Baylor students and a couple professors as well," he said.
Although guns are currently banned inside school facilities, Felker said, he hopes that will change.
"Law-abiding, licensed individuals should be able to carry a firearm because thugs and criminals will do it no matter what," he said.
Houston senior Theresa Doll disagrees.
"As an institute of higher learning, it's just not necessary to have students carrying guns," she said. "That's what law enforcement is for."
Doll, a member of the Baylor Democrats, said the right to bear arms is often overstated.
"Yes, we have a constitutional right to own and carry a gun," she said.""But that doesn't mean they have a place on college campuses."
Doll said she worries about students carrying guns and making irrational choices.
"It wouldn't make me feel safer for my roommate to have a gun," she said. "Especially not during finals when she's all stressed out."
While Doll believes shooting tragedies like Virginia Tech and Columbine need to be addressed, she said the problem is with adequate police units, not armed citizens.
"Supporting concealed weaponry is not the answer to the school shooting crisis," she said.

Baylor alumnus David Paul Cunningham, who in May threatened to destroy various buildings on Baylor's main campus, received three years of probation Thursday in a U.S. district court.
According to his attorney, Vik Deivanayagam, Cunningham, 34, was able to avoid prison time due to mental instability stemming from a serious head injury incurred while playing rugby at Baylor.
Cunningham faced a total of 20 years in prison for two felony counts of "maliciously conveying false information."
On May 1, Cunningham called a Baylor switchboard operator and told her he planned to place diesel drums in the basements of every building at Baylor, according to court records.
Cunningham said he would take this action in response to his perceived involvement of Baylor in the Virginia Tech shootings.
The Baylor Police Department was able to trace the call to a hotel room in Tyler, Cunningham's hometown.
The next day, Cunningham called Baylor Police Chief Jim Doak, threatening bodily harm. Again, he mentioned the Virginia Tech incident.
The call was traced to the same hotel room. The Tyler Police Department arrested Cunningham later that day.
"The justice system worked as it is supposed to," Doak said of the sentencing.
According to an article appearing in the Waco Tribune-Herald, Deivanayagam was able to convince U.S. District Judge Walter J. Smith Jr. that Cunningham did not grasp the levity of these threats and did not plan on carrying them out.
Deivanayagam said Cunningham was more or less "blowing off some steam."
Also in the article, Cunningham apologized to Judge Smith and said, "I just don't have a lot of tact in dealing with police enforcement."
Cunningham wrapped up his court statement by saying he wanted to see the elephants at the zoo in Tyler.
According to Baylor Lariat archives, Cunningham was kneed in the head during a scrimmage against the University of Texas in 1995. Cunningham suffered a concussion, a broken nose and a skull fracture.
He missed two weeks of school and his injuries required cosmetic surgery.
Cunningham graduated the next spring with a degree in engineering.
He was expelled for undisclosed reasons as a graduate student in 2001

An account of the resource
Thursday, April 19th, 2007
While we spent the last two weeks railing at each other about racial insults, sexist jokes, hip hop music, apologies that won't fly, and weighty matters related to the First Amendment, a deranged college student sat plotting the mass murder of his classmates along with his own suicide on the idyllic campus of Virginia Tech.
Now that the fog of horror is beginning to lift everyone is scrambling to find someone to point a finger at.
Last week rap music was to blame for the arsenal of racist and sexist insults that are at the disposal of shock jocks like Don Imus. This week the NRA and Hollywood are to blame. The NRA, says the Left, makes it possible for mentally sick young men like Cho Seung-Hui to get his hands on an arsenal of weapons to act out their private fantasies of murder and suicide. At the same time, says the Right, Hollywood is to blame for churning out an arsenal of violent movies like Quentin Tarantino "Grindhouse" that feed our appetite for carnage and violence.
Nothing like hateful speech and violent rampages to keep things in perspective.
If we're going to blame NRA, Hollywood, or even video games we all have some blame to shoulder. Lord knows, ours is culture that is fascinated with violence.
I am as liable as the next person for indulging in the guilty pleasurable pasttime of watching crime dramas on television every week (e.g., Law and Order, CSI, Cold Case). I don't know when it happened. Recant: I do know. But that's another story. What I also know is that figuring out the motivation behind the murder is half the" fun" of watching the crime show. But the rampage at Virginia Tech is a sobering wake up call, or it should be.
It doesn't matter what "motivated" the gunman behind the Virginia Tech shooting. I won't join the media detectives in pouring over the identity of the killer's family and the putative ethnic nature of his rage, nor do I care to watch as journalists shove a microphone in the face of every person who ever bumped up against him in the hallway or try reconstructing what he had for breakfast the morning of his rampage. Besides, we haven't bothered to do the same type of psychological and cultural analysis upon those who four years ago committed our youth to the bloodbath and carnage reported weekly out of Iraq. Enough.
Stop the violence by keeping up the protest against pro-gun lobbyists and by boycotting movies that showcase gratuitous violence. Better time is spent praying for the tortured souls that commit these acts of violence. Stop the violence by turning it off in ourselves. After tragedies like the one this week, says one Virginia Tech student who also survived the Columbine massacre of ten years ago this week, normalcy never returns.
After a steady diet of violence all these years, can any of us say what normal — or decency and civility, for that matter — is anymore?

Subject: Letter from President Steger on Northern Illinois University
Thursday, February 14, 2008
Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff
As I write, events are unfolding at Northern Illinois University where a mass shooting occurred. Already we know that more than a dozen are wounded. This horrific news will certainly bring to mind the hurt, pain, and trauma we experienced less than a year ago. I have sent my condolences and offer of assistance to the president of NIU. Our university community was bolstered and comforted by the outpouring of support from campuses around the nation and the world. I am sure that expressions of support from the Virginia Tech community will mean much to that now suffering campus community.
We should take this opportunity now to reach out and help each other. I am convinced that our university community coped because of our care and concern for every member of the extended Hokie Family. I ask you to look out for your each other and seek help through university services if necessary.
Students can call Cook Counseling Center anytime at 231-6557. Employees call anytime to 866-725-0602.
I wish you the best.
Sincerely,
Charles W. Steger
President

Subject: Ongoing support for Northern Illinois University, Virginia Tech
Friday, February 15, 2008
The Virginia Tech community continues to reach out to those at Northern Illinois University.
Throughout today, numerous university administrators, faculty and students have been in contact with counterparts at NIU to offer assistance, advice, and support. The university will continue to lend support as long as it is needed.
Cook Counseling Center will be open Saturday, Feb. 16 and Sunday, Feb. 17 from noon to 5 p.m. Walk-in appointments are welcome to students who may wish to seek support should difficult memories of last year's event resurface. The center can be reached at 231-6557 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Employees seeking assistance can call 866-725-0602 anytime 24 hours a day.
Hokies United is planning a candlelight vigil Monday night on Alumni Mall, near Torgersen Bridge. The event will be at dusk, approximately 6:30 p.m. Everyone in the Blacksburg and Virginia Tech communities are welcome.
Hokies United is also asking everyone to wear red and black on Monday to show solidarity and support for the Northern Illinois University community.

I snapped a very quick set of photos of these signs for a panoramic after ESPN Gameday ended just before the first game of the season on September 1, 2007.
Hokies United made these signs to be held up during the show thanking other schools for their support after April 16.
