SMH .. countdown until alcohol and rage fueled tailgate lot smack talk results in a shooting.... what could possibly go wrong?
Driving around the border of TN/GA on Monday I noticed a combination Pharmacy and Gun shop. The idea that someone could simultaneously pick up their anti-depressants and a glock seemed to also be a not-so-great idea: http://www.mccaysvilledrugcenter.com/
Sometimes we just go out of our way to make bad ideas a reality.

I've been going to FSU games for 22 years. Never once I have been asked if there is a gun in my car. In fact, never has anyone ever asked about ANYTHING that may or may not be in my car.
This chick is nothing more than an attention whore. Keep your mouth shut and carry you legally permitted piece.
However, my gut tells me that this kind of radical attention seeker may be the last person on earth we want to have a gun on a school campus.
It's one of the gray areas, at best, of the concealed carry law. If you are driving around town where does FSU's campus start and stop? Based on the map FSU campus covers public roads so does that mean you can't carry or have a weapon in that whole area? The law also bans having a weapon at a school athletic event. Where does the event start and stop? It certainly seems to flow out into the parking lot but could also be defined as just inside the stadium.
Bottom line is it has never been challenged to watch your back if you keep a weapon. And this person making the claim is an attention grabbing idiot.

Or maybe she's doing it on principle. I can respect that but, personally, I don't agree with her and side with the administration on the ban.
Since our current political atmosphere does not allow for open discussion on such topics, pushing this issue in courts may be what is needed. If courts decide that they're allowed so be it
What makes more sense - get the unlawful policy overturned before something happens where the school learns of the weapon she keeps in her car, or wait until after you're expelled under an unlawful policy and go through the fight to get it corrected?
You honestly never know when LEOs will search your car. I've had them bring out a dog to search my car when I was pulled over for a bad headlight. My friend who is a deputy in the panhandle told me, "The dog always alerts if we want it to." Sure enough, they claimed the dog smelled something and then went through my car. Of course there was nothing, and I honestly suspect it was a training exercise for the younger guy (you don't normally see two of them in a car together). But if I had a concealed weapon, and was on campus as a student I would have found myself behind the 8 ball with this unlawful policy. How much extra time do you want to spend after the fact trying to get something like that reversed? It won't happen quickly.
I was going to an fsu baseball game and had stopped to throw some trash in a dumpster prior to entering the parking area behind the field and unwittingly failed to buckle up my seat belt after the stop. On entering the parking lot there was an FSU policeman stopped in the exit side of the lot's entrance. Low and behold he noticed my seat belt not being utilized. I parked and got out of my car and he came up to give me a ticket. I told him I had a weapon in my glove box ( I have a concealed carry permit). Ironically I knew the policeman from the games and he simply let me unload my weapon and put it in my trunk. Would have been interesting if he wanted it to be. Thanks for a policeman that used common sense.
Same thing happened to me in PC. I had just got my car out of the shop and they failed to reconnect the left headlight. I got pulled over and the LEO took his time and looked in every window of the car and then told me he had to search my car. I asked him why did I get pulled over ? He said my left head light was out. I busted out laughing. I told him that he could absolutely NOT search my car. He let me go with a warning. As far as the OP, I don't go anywhere in my pickup truck without my Glock 27.

I guess I have been breaking this rule for a long time then! No one is ever going to ask unless your doing something you shouldn't. They aren't going to search every car coming into the lot.
