A bill that would allow Texas college students to keep handguns locked
in their cars in college campus parking lots easily passed the state
Senate on Tuesday.The bill, OK'd in a bipartisan 27-4 vote, would override
rules by several state colleges and universities that prohibit guns on campuses.During
the debate on the Senate floor, Democratic Sen. Jose Rodriguez of El
Paso argued the bill would lead to allowing guns in college classrooms.
He later told FoxNews.com, I opposed the bill because, given todays climate
and the rise of crime on ours campuses, the last thing we
need to do is pass a bill like this."Supporters say the measure
isnt a traditional concealed weapons bill because the legislation would
restrict students to keeping their guns in a locked vehicle. But Rodriguez
says that would do little to deter a determined shooter.You allow it
in the glove compartment of your car in the college campus and
if you have a disgruntled student who wants to take (his or
her) anger out on the teacher or an administrator, whats going to
stop the student from walking to the car and getting it? Rodriguez
said.Republican Sen. Glenn Hegar, a supporter of the bill, says the current
restrictions unfairly single out college students.Guns in Texas play a big
part in the Lone Star states culture, Rodriguez said. At the Texas
Capitol, concealed handgun license holders are allowed to skip the metal
detectors that others must go through to be allowed entr

injured Sunday when his horse stumbled and he pitched into the dirt
track at the hippodrome on the outskirts of the capital, Ashgabat. But
the fall was certainly a wound to the pride of the 55-year-old
Central Asian leader, whose all-powerful personality cult portrays him as
effortlessly competent.Thousands of people were in the stands for the race
that celebrated Turkmenistan's renowned desert racehorse breed, the Akhal-Teke.
But state television's video of the race cut off just before the
fall and the extensive written reports on the event didn't mention the
plunge.All domestic broadcasting in Turkmenistan is state-run; newspapers
are either state-run or under heavy government supervision. Media criticism
of the president is non-existent and elaborate praise of him is ubiquitous
in this nation of 5 million, wedged between the Caspian Sea and
Iran, Afghanistan and Uzbekistan.Turkmenistan's security agencies reportedly
went into high gear to try to block video or images of
the president's fall from slipping out to the rest of the world.
The opposition-in-exile group Gundogar cited witnesses as saying police
were carefully checking the computers, tablets, mobile phones and cameras
of departing passengers at Ashgabat's airport. The horse celebration had
attracted an array of foreign horse enthusiasts.Video obtained by The Associated
Press shows a rider falling when his horse stumbles just after crossing
the finish line
