Notes from the Resistance
Florida Lawmakers Move to Allow ‘Guardians’ to Carry Guns on College Campuses [More]
I never did care for the sheepdog analogy, expecting someone else to take risks on my behalf that I’m not willing to assume myself. That’s what got us into their “Only Ones” mess in the first place.
As for me being one, I’m with Rick Blaine.
And as for listening to Sen. Carlos Guillermo Smith, I’m not about to take self-defense advice from a man who can’t even protect his own husband.

Florida Bill Exempts Church Security from Private Security Regulations [More]
Now watch the insurance carriers pee in the pool.
The late Robert J. Kukla made a brilliant observation in his 1973 classic, Gun Control, equating the release of violent misfits from prison with opening the cage of a man-eating tiger and expecting a different result. [More]
Anyone who can’t be trusted with a gun can’t be trusted without a custodian.
The State previously filed an answer brief taking the position that Appellant Christopher Morgan was properly convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm. On further reflection, the Attorney General is of the view that the conviction violated Morgan’s Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. Properly understood, the Second Amendment permits the government to dispossess felons whose convictions indicate that the felon is dangerous, but not merely all felons as a categorical matter. [More]
So… which Republican AG approved that previous answer?
And point of order– it’s nice to see the insistence on punishing nonviolent offenders forever has been reconsidered, but what good does a lifetime disability on violent ones do if they’re then allowed to stalk among us?
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?
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?

Of all reporting Florida cities, Miami Gardens reported the highest violent crime rate in 2024 at 11.77 per 100,000 people. [More]
Anybody else notice an elephant in the room…?
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.
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 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?
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 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.
Hey, backi the khaki, right?

UPDATE
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.
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…

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 Urges SCOTUS to Grant Cert in NRA’s Challenge to its Young Adult Purchase Ban and to Rule its Own Law Unconstitutional [More]
If they’d get their own idiot Republican leadership in line…

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?
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.
