A big change could be coming to Florida college and university campuses. A state lawmaker has introduced a bill that would make it legal for a person to carry a gun on campus. Students who go to class on college campuses could soon be bringing more than just their books to class.

A Florida Senate bill would permit the right to concealed carry on college campuses, with a senator sponsoring the bill saying “no magic force field” prevents criminals from carrying a gun to school.

State Senator Randy Fine (R) 19th District wants to change the law. He introduced legislation that would allow people to legally carry concealed guns on college campuses.

According to the bill’s text, Florida colleges and universities can have so called “safe zones” around campus during athletic events in which firearms would not be allowed. But in order for schools to have a gun-free zone, they must "submit a security plan" and be cleared by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
