There should be zero tolerance of guns and other weapons on any college campus. The penalty, in addition to locking their butts up and melting the key, should be automatic expulsion and a lifetime band from attending any State University in the U.S. Let'em attend some private thug college with high tuition and no federal dollars assistance. This type of foolishness may have an adverse impact on FAMU home game attendance as folks will be more concerned for their safety than being entertained by a great Marching 100 band and a superb Rattler football team. Time to bring out the metal detectors and guards--just like at the airports and get these armed fools off the FAMU campus.
