Headline: These students are leaning toward colleges that allow concealed handguns on campus

Football games, Greek life, spacious dorm rooms, dining halls - these are all qualities aspiring college students typically take into consideration when choosing a school. But now, some students are eager to earn their degrees at schools where they can carry concealed handguns for protection.

Caroline Graziano, a Virginia high school senior, says she would feel safer going to a school where students with concealed carry permits can legally bring their weapons on campus.

"I would definitely lean towards the school with concealed carry, as long as everything else about the school I like about it," said Graziano. "It would influence me to go to that school just because I would feel safer on that campus," she said.

Zac Wood, a Navy veteran looking to earn his graduate degree, says he'd prefer a school that allowed students to carry concealed weapons.

"Being able to carry a weapon would definitely make me feel safer," he said.

Wood, 28, is one of the few who could legally carry on campus. Most states require a person to be at least 21 to have a permit -- depending on where he or she goes to school.

There are ten states that allow students and/or faculty to carry concealed handguns on campus, though some have limitations on who can carry and where.

There are another ten states that have laws strictly prohibiting concealed handguns on college campuses. The rest of the state leave it up to schools to decide, and the rules vary widely.
