In the aftermath of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary legislators in states across the country are calling for changes in laws that prohibit guns from being brought on to school campuses.

One Florida lawmaker who has been a vocal advocate for doing away with what he calls ?gun free zones? is Representative Dennis Baxley. The Ocala Republican helped sponsor the controversial ?Stand Your Ground? law that is now playing itself out in court in the Trayvon Martin killing.

Baxley says ?in our zeal to keep people safer by creating gun free zones, we have inadvertently created a sterile target for deranged killers.? He believes our schools would be safer if principals and teachers were authorized to carry guns. Baxley recently spoke with WMNF?s Lisa Marzilli about his controversial views.
