On Monday night, the Florida Senate Criminal Justice Committee cleared a bill 3-to-2 that will allow students with concealed weapons permits to bring firearms on campus.
The idea of guns on state university campuses is something a lot of people have mixed feelings about. In fact, the initial round on this proposal only narrowly moved forward.
The guns on school grounds came into the spotlight again last November after a shooter opened fire inside the Strozier library at Florida State University.
The gunman shot three people before being shot and killed by police.
Since then, some students with concealed weapons permits have rallied for carrying guns on campus for self-defense.
Florida law currently has a list of places where firearms are prohibited including courtrooms, polling locations and university campuses.
The bill, which still has a ways before making it to the floor, has been dubbed the “guns on campus bill”.
It would alter the Florida law deleting the portion that mentions state universities.
