" There was a time when being loaded on the quad meant you&amp;#039;d drunk too much &amp;quot;mystery punch.&amp;quot; But for Students for Concealed Carry on Campus (SCCC), a 24,000-strong group - whose membership spiked after the Virginia Tech massacre and Northern Illinois State shooting - it&amp;#039;s about the right to carry a gun to class. We asked member Laura Elizabeth Morales of the University of Texas in San Antonio to explain:  &amp;quot;Right now, you can bring a gun to the mall but not to school. Having a gun isn&amp;#039;t unsafe; not having one is unsafe. Concealed carry is for law-abiding citizens. To get a permit in Texas, you have to submit your mental-health history and go through 10 hours of safety training. As a girl walking from class at night, I don&amp;#039;t feel safe with just a knife or pepper spray. I&amp;#039;m not sure what I&amp;#039;d do if something bad happened, but I don&amp;#039;t want to be defenseless. Once we get the law passed, I&amp;#039;m going to get my permit and a small Glock that will fit in my purse.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
