In the wake of recent school shootings and the increasing debate over guns in schools, some students at HACC took a course designed to train them in how to operate a pistol safely.
The pistol training class was hosted by Practical Survival Solutions LLC and endorsed by the NRA.
Right now, local colleges are telling CBS 21 that students are not allowed to carry firearms on campus. But one student group is working to change that. They are called "Students for Concealed Carry."
And they say that legislators in six states are recognizing that "Gun-free zones" on campuses have failed to protect students. And those states are introducing new bills that would allow for campus carry. Those states include, Arkansas, Missouri, Georgia, Indiana, Wyoming and Kansas.
The students say they want to be able to feel safe on campus and that they have a choice in being able to defend themselves.
