Targeted in Walmart Attack, Hispanics in El Paso Flock to Firearms Classes

   EL PASO, TEXAS - 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 after 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.
