F.S.U. Fans With Permits Can Keep Guns in Cars During Game

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida State University football fans who go 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 school said Wednesday, the day after being sued for a policy that bans guns on campus.

But that's not good enough, said Florida Carry, Inc., the group that's suing the school. It maintained that any legal gun owners, permitted or not, should be able to lock their guns in cars on campus, whether they're there for football games, classes or visiting.

The school said it still has a strict policy of not allow guns on campus, but two year ago began making an exception for people who have a concealed weapons permit and who lock their guns in their cars.
