Florida Carry Sues Over University Parking Lot Gun Ban

Florida – -(Ammoland.com)- Florida Carry, Inc. has today filed a lawsuit against the University of North Florida (UNF), seeking a permanent injunction from enforcing its unlawful ban on firearms and weapons and a court order to repeal their unlawful regulations, remove all preempted signs.

Also that UNF pay fines, costs, attorney’s fees, and damages. Since 1987 the Florida Legislature has preempted firearms law and issued statewide licenses to carry for self-defense.

Florida Carry filed this case on behalf of Florida Gun Owners and our members. One such member, Alexandria Lainez, is a single mother who has received extensive training in firearms and self-defense to be prepared to protect herself and her young child should that horrible need arise.

Alexandria is a full time student at UNF and worries that she has to choose between her family’s safety and her education on a daily basis while attending college.

No public college or university has any right to prevent students from having a firearm in their car as long as the firearm is lawfully possessed under state law. Any public college or university which attempts to restrict students’ rights on this issue is subject to being sued under Florida Firearms Preemption law which was amended this year to make the 24 year old statute easier to enforce by organizations like Florida Carry.

Any fee required to obtain a carry permit is an unlawful taxation. The Constitution did not make conditions to protect yourself and BY GOD I will not be trod upon.

Stand up for your rights or you don't deserve ANY rights. There is no Constitutional free zone!
