In the U.S. guns are used 2.5 million times a year in self-defense, that's almost 7,000 times a day.

The University of Florida's student handbook states that no student is allowed to carry firearms on school grounds. But the 160 member Libertarian Activist Network at UF says they should be and plan to take it all the way to the Florida Legislature.

The Libertarian Party says if prohibition didn't stop liquor use, drug laws don't stop drug use, making gun ownership illegal will not stop gun ownership.

"I actually feel safer with them," says Neal Conner, President of The Libertarian Activist Network. "Individuals have to be responsible for their own safety, the police as much as they can do isn't going to be around 24/7."

The Libertarian Activist Network plans on finding a Florida Legislator who supports passing such a bill as allowing guns on campus.
