A state appeals court rejected firearms in University of Florida on-campus housing Friday, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

A gun-rights group was seeking to overturn a university ban on firearms, according to the Sentinel.

This ruling comes during a time of debate about whether people will soon be able to carry guns on college campuses.

Associated Press reporter Gary Fineout tweeted about this decision.

Knight News is waiting on a response from UCF on their stance on this decision
