A forum was held in Fayetteville on another house bill that would allow faculty and staff on college campuses to conceal carry.
The bill will be presented to the house Tuesday and the University of Arkansas's student government will be voting on an official stance on the bill Tuesday, as well.
The goal behind the bill is to make college campuses in the Natural State safer.
However, students are now questioning if the increase in guns would instead make them more of a target.
The bill's co-author argues that by extending the privileges of faculty and staff with concealed carry licenses to include the campus will detour a potential attacker from choosing a place where they won't get out safely.
