WUSF's Mark Schreiner speaks with the executive director of the USF College Republicans, senior Emily Schwab and group treasurer, junior Bradley Searles, about the empty holster protest.
There's an unusual sight on USF's Tampa and Sarasota-Manatee campuses this week: a number of students are wearing empty gun holsters over their clothes to protest Florida's ban on concealed weapons on campus.
It's part of a nationwide protest organized by the group Students for Concealed Carry, which is encouraging members to wear empty gun holsters on college campuses this week to start a conversation about schools' bans on concealed weapons.
Although USF doesn't have a chapter, a number of other student groups are joining together in the effort, led by the USF College Republicans.
