TALLAHASSEE, FL. (WTXL) - After last month's shooting at Florida State University, a group called "Students for Concealed Carry" at FSU is calling on the university's president to reconsider allowing guns on campus.
FSU President John Thrasher was a state senator when he opposed a bill back in 2011 that would have allowed some people to carry guns at colleges and universities.
The Bill was derailed by the father of a 20-year-old student who was accidentally shot and killed at a party, when he asked lawmakers not to pass the measure.
A new bill proposed for the upcoming session would allow people who are licensed to carry concealed weapons on campus. According to Erek Culbreath, Students for Concealed Carry at FSU is backing the Bill.
"It is ludicrous, the way we have it now, where if you are an adult, a law-abiding citizen, and you decide to pursue higher education, somehow you lose your fundamental right to be able to protect yourself and the people around you."
Culbreath says, two members of the group could have stopped last month's attack at Strozier Library had they been armed.
