THERE'S A NEW PUSH AT FLORIDA GULF COAST UNIVERSITY FOR STUDENTS TO CARRY CONCEALED GUNS ON CAMPUS.
NBC 2'S KIM BROWN TALKED TO GROUP TRYING TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
Return to index of stories...
A GROUP OF FLORIDA GULF COAST UNIVERSITY STUDENTS ARE PUSHING TO MAKE CONCEALED CARRY LEGAL ON CAMPUS.
We feel that students should be able to defend themselves in campus.
TIM CANNEDY IS TRYING TO START THE LOCAL CHAPTER OF 'STUDENTS FOR CONCEALED CARRY.'
THE NATIONAL GROUP FORMED AFTER THE VIRGINIA TECH SHOOTING TRAGEDY.
THE GOAL IS TO LEGALIZE CONCEALED CARRY FOR CURRENT PERMIT HOLDERS ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES.
RIGHT NOW, CONCEALED CARRY IS NOT ALLOWED IN FLORIDA AT PLACES LIKE COURTHOUSES, POLICE STATIONS, SCHOOLS. INCLUDING COLLEGES AND UNIVERISTIES.
We believe that concealed carry on campus can protect people from mass shootings and any other violent crimes that may occur on campus.
CANNEDY DECIDED TO ORGANIZE THE LOCAL GROUP AFTER THE AURORA COLORADO MOVIE THEATER SHOOTING THAT HAPPENED IN JULY.
IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR OTHER STUDENTS TO JOIN HIM.
I think it's necessary for everyone's self defense and safety on campus.
THE UNIVERSITY WOULD NOT COMMENT ABOUT THE GROUP SINCE IT'S NOT A REGISTERED STUDENT ORGANIZATION.
BUT, ALREADY, THEY HAVE MORE THAN 100 LIKES ON FACEBOOK.
AND SOME STUDENTS SUPPORT THEIR MISSION.
I feel like its okay as long as they have their license.
OTHERS THINK THE PUSH IS NOT NEEDED.
I know they're trying to protect themselves, but there's other ways you can protect yourself. We have the emergency poles all over campus.
THE GROUP PLANS TO REGISTER WITH THE UNIVERSITY FRIDAY TO BE CONSIDERED AN OFFICIAL STUDENT GROUP.
IN FORT MYERS KIM BROWN NBC2.
Return to index of stories...
THE NATIONAL ORGANIZATION ALREADY HAS MAJOR SUPPORT AT COLLEGE CAMPUSES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
IT'S WEB SITE SAYS IT'S MADE UP OF MORE THAN 43 THOUSAND COLLEGE STUDENTS, PROFESSORS, COLLEGE EMPLOYEES, PARENTS OF COLLEGE STUDENTS, AND CONCERNED CITIZENS.
EVEN IF F-G-C-U OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZES THE GROUP.
THE ORGANIZER SAYS THEY STILL PLAN ON REACHING OUT TO LAWMAKERS TO TRY TO GET THE LAW CHANGED.
