Scott backs campus guns, parents push back
By Drew Petrimoulx @ February 23, 2011 5:00 AM Permalink | Comments (0)
Governor Rick Scott says he backs a new bill to allow licensed gun owners to bring their weapons on college campuses.

But the law is getting some serious push back.

"I believe in the right to bear arms," Scott said Tuesday when asked about Senate Bill 434.

But parents whose children were killed by guns are speaking out against it.

"Stupid, a waste of my tax money," said Chuck Ruschak, whose son Michael was murdered by a man who opened fire at an off-campus party near UCF in 2007.

He says it's too easy to get a gun license and believes unstable people would end up armed on campus.

The state Senate committee considering the bill suspended a vote Tuesday after emotional testimony from parents, but insiders say it'll likely be brought back up at the next meeting.

The group Students for Concealed Carry on Campus points out that laws banning guns did nothing to stop shootings at Virginia Tech and other schools across the country.
