CHARLESTON, SC (WTOC/WCSC) - Guns are now legal for students on public university campuses in South Carolina.
The signs say "guns prohibited" on the College of Charleston's campus, but according to bill 593 that's about to change. Lawmakers approved the bill last month.
It says cars on public college campuses are now acceptable places for concealed weapons permit holders to store guns. But that makes some students feel uneasy.
"Why makes guns more easily accessible after the violence we just saw at virginia tech and nationwide?" asked student Rachel Kutler.
Kutler transferred to the College of Charleston after the Virginia Tech massacre.She doesn't believe it's up to politicians to dictate student safety.
