Tiivistelmä

When the Texas legislature in August  allowed concealed handguns on campuses, the
implementation of the legislation assumed a spatial meaning. At issue was not so much what
the impact of firearms in educational establishments would be but where concealed guns
could be carried and which specific locations were to be determined as exclusion zones. The
decision-making process boiled down to a negotiation of rights by the federal government,
state legislature, university, and members of the campus community. In particular, the question
of gun rights was interpreted through notions of space, freedom, and privacy, as understood
through amendments to the US Constitution.
