With the start of a new school year, there is a renewed push to allow guns on college campuses.

A state representative from Central Florida is reintroducing a bill to allow concealed carry on campus. The Republican lawmaker argues in light of recent mass shootings, it would enable permit-holders to defend themselves. The Senate did not take up the proposal last year.

Report Justin Kase, who shows in the video above, how students at Florida Gulf Coast University feel about the renewed push as the new year gets ready to start.
