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]

It’s bad enough when we’re behaving legally and they’re not. Add in jokes and threats about killing us, and that’s intolerable.

Who Allows Them to Get Away with It?

Ron DeSantis Mocks State GOP’s Lack of Support for Open Carry: ‘Are We Florida or Are We San Francisco?’ [More]

That’s what years of supporting “the lesser of two evils” vs. taking a hit now and sending an unequivocal message to the party for who they’d better put up next time gets us.

When asked about his top three priorities if elected:

First and foremost, I would pass a city ordinance banning the open carry of firearms. . I want to be the first politician in America to actually stand up for what people want.

With Republicans Like These

Albritton, R-Wauchula, told reporters that as a life-long and consistent supporter of law enforcement, he will oppose any open carry legislation in 2025: “I trust my law enforcement officials. They oppose it … and I stand with them today in opposition.” [More]
