A 22-year-old man was charged with aggravated assault with a firearm early Tuesday following a disagreement at a local bar.

At 2:46 a.m. Tuesday, Florida State University police arrested Andrew Mangione outside of Potbelly’s, 459 W. College Ave. Mangione had apparently had a confrontation inside of the establishment with staff and had been asked to leave. He was then allegedly seen waiting in front of the establishment after closing. When another staff member told him to move on, Mangione reportedly stated that he had an issue with an employee of Potbelly’s and also said that he had a gun while reaching into his jacket pocket. The staff member became alarmed, tackled Mangione and held him down while another staff member retrieved a handgun from Mangione’s jacket pocket.

Police were called, and after investigating the incident they arrested Mangione. The gun was recovered by police and impounded as evidence.

5. In Florida even if you have a carry permit ...

you can not carry inside a bar. You can carry in an establishment that has a bar but not in the bar portion of the business.

The incident did not happen on a college campus, nor did it happen inside a bar.

Therefore, your comment:

"what this country needs are more guns on campus and in bars"

may or may not be correct depending on your viewpoint but it has nothing to do with this particular incident.

The judge set a $10,000 bond and told him no drugs or alcohol, no guns, and stay away from Potbelly's and its employees. He will have to undergo random drug and alcohol screening and surrender his guns within 5 days.

Sounds fair to me.
