Florida Students Clamoring for Campus Carry

Across the Sunshine State, students are speaking out in favor of Campus Carry. They’re tired of being told that their safety must take a back seat to outdated policies that leave them vulnerable. From student government resolutions to campus organizations and social media advocacy, it’s clear that this generation is energized and ready to defend their rights! They understand that personal protection and education are not mutually exclusive.

Every individual has the inherent right to defend themselves, and that right doesn’t disappear when they step onto a college campus. Whether you’re a student walking to class at night, a faculty member working late in your office, or a visitor attending an event, the ability to protect yourself is essential. Campus carry legislation acknowledges this basic truth and helps close the dangerous gap where law-abiding citizens are currently left defenseless in the very places where safety should be a top priority.

It’s time to affirm that constitutional rights don’t stop at the campus gate. The Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear arms, and that right should not be confined by invisible lines drawn around educational institutions. Universities are not exempt from real-world dangers, and denying constitutional protections in these spaces not only puts people at risk, but also sets a troubling precedent. Upholding the full scope of our constitutional freedoms means ensuring those rights extend to all lawful citizens—no matter where they are.

We need more folks to get involved, speak up, and join the movement. Change happens when citizens raise their voices and demand action. Now is the time to get involved—contact your legislators, share your support for campus carry, and help educate others on why it matters. This movement isn’t just about firearms; it’s about reclaiming personal liberty and ensuring no one has to choose between education and self-defense.
