Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier is defending gun rights [More]
Did he do anything at all to try to stop Letitia James from extraditing Lawrence DeStefano?

L-a-a-ambert!
This guy got arrested at a Christmas parade in Florida for wearing a body armor vest concealed under his shirt. The problem is, that wasn’t illegal. I saw this in the news, with cops taking a victory lap and Karens rejoicing about it, so I put in a request for the footage, and just got it. And it’s worse than I even thought it would be. Lawful conduct does not become illegal just because police officers – or Karens – are afraid of something. My rights don’t end where your fear of some perfectly legal object begins. [Watch]
Those “citizens” grateful to the “Only Ones” remind me of nothing so much as the sheep bleating for Lambert to save her.
Why would communists be afraid of them?

Plain Speaking in Politics
Demographics is Destiny
Of all reporting Florida cities, Miami Gardens reported the highest violent crime rate in 2024 at 11.77 per 100,000 people. [More]

Out in the Open
State of Florida agrees in court settlement with Gun Owners of America, Open Carry is unequivocally protected by the Second Amendment [More]
How was there ever even a question?
Yet some of us remember when porcine “Only Ones” joked about shooting open carriers to get two weeks off. And laughing about doing double taps on them.
Staying in Character
Dem congresswoman indicted for ‘particularly selfish’ alleged theft of FEMA relief funds for campaign use [More]
If you’re not afraid to steal people’s guns, why would you be afraid to steal their money?
It goes with a communist entitlement mentality:
We shouldn’t have to explain to our children why Congress took dinner off the table.
You shouldn’t have to explain why “Congress” needs to feed them.
We’re the Only Ones Respectful Enough
“We respect the Second Amendment and want people to know their rights and adhere to the law,” Chief Troche said. [More]
That’s why you gear up for war when citizens know their rights better than you do, Chief?
And with Sarasota leaning Republican, how is it the commission is dominated by Democrats?
‘Where Shopping is (Once More) a Pleasure’
Publix has confirmed it will allow customers to openly carry firearms inside its Florida stores, following a court ruling that struck down the state’s long-standing open carry ban. In a statement to 7News, a spokesperson for Publix said the grocery chain “follows all federal, state and local laws” and emphasized that “treating customers with dignity and respect is a founding belief.” [More]
Well, that ought p!$$ off the same people who endorse a Democrat who wants to shoot Republicans in the head.
They sure had no trouble gloating when they thought they were winning.

We’re the Only Ones Retentive Enough
“We are hearing rumblings already that some allegedly pro-gun Republicans are already cooking up ideas to roll back the impact of the ruling,” he said. “We’re hearing things like what kind of retention-level holster the sheriffs will demand people use. If anything like that comes out, the Florida Sheriffs Association is behind it and we will fight it.” [More]
They probably want to make them easier for their DEI hires to remove.

UPDATE
Speaking of Brewing Civil Wars…
Renner believes he may have the “unifying” message conservative voters are looking for. [More]
If that message includes stabbing gun owners in the back and then acting like they have no one else to vote for, look for a lot of them to sit on their hands and prepare for the real civil war a Democrat victory ambitious Quislings like this are making inevitable.
The Beginning of the End?
On Wednesday, the Florida First District Court of Appeal ruled that the state’s open carry ban is unconstitutional, saying that it conflicts with the Second Amendment’s guarantee of the right to bear arms. [More]
All eyes are on James Uthmeier…

Enjoy the Crumbs!
Florida’s new tax holiday expands to all guns and ammo [More]
Are they still going to make gun owners fund the Fudds, who then turn around and go all gunkapo on them?
And yeah, saving a few bucks is always nice, but there are much bigger fish to fry.

Florida’s GOP State Attorney Bakkedahl Cites Anti-2A Everytown to Defend Infringements
These offensive “justifications” being argued by Florida Republicans sound like the kind of polemics to be expected from rabid Moms Demand Action zealots and ranting Democrat demagogues. That they would be made in an administration where Gov. Ron DeSantis is widely touted as being “pro-gun” and where Florida State Attorney General James Uthmeier recently refused to defend the under-21 long gun ban enacted after the Parkland shootings, goes beyond cognitive dissonance. [More]
With Republicans like these, who needs Democrats?
Another Red Herring
The Daily Beast on Wednesday published a story appearing to criticize Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ approval of executions for five veterans found guilty of rape and murder. [More]
Those behind it know damn well if you exempt them, equal protection would mean you need to exempt everyone, which is the real goal here.

And NOW What?
GOA & GOF File for Summary Judgment to Overturn Florida’s Open Carry Ban [More]
’bout damn time. Before someone gets killed.
So, will Uthmeier and DeSantis stand down, like they did with a challenge to the under 21 long gun ban, or fight, and in any case, all the Supreme Court has to do to keep the prohibition in place is something they’ve proven very adept at: Nothing.
We’re the Only Ones Ignorant Enough
Sorry it took so long to reply– I was away for several days. The video incident happened before FL passed permitless carry. In retrospect, I should have pointed that out. [More]
The “Only One,” who doesn’t know the law and who said he had respect for an amendment he couldn’t even properly number, was instructing his victim to break another law.
If that’s coming from a sergeant, imagine the street grunt’s legal acumen.
Police Responses to Florida Open Carriers Show Need for Direction from DeSantis
There is something that is in DeSantis’ power to do that can mitigate that danger without having to rely on oath-breaking Republican power players… [More]
One simple, proactive order that is within the governor’s power to issue could minimize the chances of lawful open carriers being endangered by police ignorance of the law.
Gun Owners Could Publicly Put ‘Former Republican’ Jolly on Spot for Betraying Them
So, why not ask him what he told NRA to get them to mobilize their members on his behalf? [More]
Or to paraphrase Sir Wilfrid in Witness for the Prosecution, “The question is, Mr. Jolly, were you lying then, are you lying now, or are you not in fact a chronic and habitual LIAR?”
