“Campus Carry? What does that mean?” I asked when a Florida Coalition to Keep Guns Off Campus board member first contacted me last year.
Being an international student from the UK, I wasn’t well versed with what was happening in the Florida Legislature. So I delved into the topic on Google, finding as much information as I could on the subject. To say I was shocked at the possibility of allowing people who have concealed carry permits to bring their firearms on to campus is an understatement. But campus carry bills HB 4001 and it’s companion bill, SB 68, sponsored by Rep. Greg Steube, are gaining ground. The NRA, Students for Concealed Carry and other gun lobbyists are pushing hard for it to pass. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
