Flagstaff, AZ – The Arizona legislature is considering several gun-related bills this session.

Supporters say the bill would allow people their 2nd amendment right to defend themselves. But, opponents say more guns means the possibility for more violence. And, as Arizona Public Radio's Gillian Ferris Kohl reports, that prospect has campus police at the state's three universities worried.
