Guns on Campus on Hold
February 22nd, 2011 by Mike VasilindaA state Senate committee delayed voting on legislation that would allow guns on college campuses in Florida after the father of Ashley Cowie, an FSU coed killed in a January shooting accident in a fraternity asked them to think twice.
Dr. Robert Cowie of Jacksonville says he came to testify for his daughters sake.
“I think there is no logical reason why a student should carry a gun on a college campus” the father told lawmakers. “And I think that if the voters in their home districts understand what the Senators are being faced to vote upon they will be overwhelmed emails, calls and letters”.
The legislation will likely come before the committee in the near future.
