FSU football fan with a permit? Bring gun, lock it in car

Stand your ground

Florida State University football fans going to the game this weekend can bring their guns if they have a concealed weapons permit and they keep them locked in their cars.

The day after being sued over a policy that bans guns on campus, the university Wednesday said permitted gun owners can keep guns locked in parked cars.

That doesn’t go far enough for Florida Carry Inc., a gun rights group that sued the school seeking to allow any legal gun owner to keep guns locked in their cars, whether they have a permit or not.

The school said the strict no-gun policy was modified two years ago after another university lost a lawsuit and an appeal court ruled gun owners can keep weapons locked in cars.
