Florida House passes ARMOR Act, expanding guardian program to universities

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV/Gray Florida Capital Bureau) – The Florida House approved the ARMOR Act late Wednesday, a bill that would expand the state’s school guardian program to universities following last year’s deadly shooting at Florida State University.

The legislation would allow university employees in the Guardian Program to carry guns on campus. Colleges would also be required to have a mobile reporting tool. The bill adds criminal charges for firing a gun near a school during the school day or after school activities.
