99
542320
5600
09:07
been attempts to change those laws, but for that  to really happen, it seems like there needs to be  
100
547920
5520
09:13
a change to gun culture in the US. Shifting  the laws likely requires a cultural change  
101
553440

104
570960
4320

not necessary to be in the gym. I mean, that is a workout in itself  
105

109
592560

09:56
in the state of Tennessee. Here's our last example. 
110

And it may require the students  to pay some out of pocket. 
111
600080
2958
10:03
Some students may have to pay out of pocket.  If you pay something out of pocket, it means  
112
603520
5600
10:09
it's a cost that's not covered by something else,  like part of a hospital bill that's not covered  
113
609120
5440
10:14
by your health insurance, or some university  costs that are not covered by your tuition. 
114

10:21
And it may require the students  to pay some out of pocket.
