I understand the frustration and apparent hypocrisy, I truly do. In his defense, however, he is a PRIME target for assassination. I'm as sure as can be that is the motivation for his decision. I troll through other places on the web gathering intel as I go, same as FDLE does, and the rhetoric against him is pretty brutal. The left is positively TERRIFIED of him.
OTOH, if he were removed , one of our last hopes would be extinguished and then where would we be? You HAVE to look at the other side of this equation. I didn't say I liked it, but I DO understand it.
So we don’t know if he knew, correct? He has appeared at places where carry is allowed or not able to be easily controlled so it seems odd he would care. This is very concerning to me though. I do agree that an unhinged leftist would try and kill him but this is still unacceptable. We should not have an elite like that in this country.
Florida's concealed carry law itself specifically names 15 gun-free zones. Other than the absurdly ill-defined "11. Any career center", I can find no such statutory location that even comes near our venue in question. Perhaps No. 11 could stretch if we're talking about DeSantis' political prospects and future, but clearly that would be another absurd bridge too far.
Here are Florida's 15 statutory gun-free zones. You decide if you think there's anything there that matches our venue in question.
Florida Statute 790.06 Section 12a - A license issued under this section does not authorize any person to openly carry a handgun or carry a concealed weapon or firearm into:
1. Any place of nuisance as defined in s. 823.05; [*See footnote]
2. Any police, sheriff, or highway patrol station;
3. Any detention facility, prison, or jail;
4. Any courthouse;
5. Any courtroom, except that nothing in this section would preclude a judge from carrying a concealed weapon or determining who will carry a concealed weapon in his or her courtroom;
6. Any polling place;
7. Any meeting of the governing body of a county, public school district, municipality, or special district;
8. Any meeting of the Legislature or a committee thereof;
9. Any school, college, or professional athletic event not related to firearms;
10. Any elementary or secondary school facility or administration building;
11. Any career center;
12. Any portion of an establishment licensed to dispense alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises, which portion of the establishment is primarily devoted to such purpose;
13. Any college or university facility unless the licensee is a registered student, employee, or faculty member of such college or university and the weapon is a stun gun or nonlethal electric weapon or device designed solely for defensive purposes and the weapon does not fire a dart or projectile;
14. The inside of the passenger terminal and sterile area of any airport, provided that no person shall be prohibited from carrying any legal firearm into the terminal, which firearm is encased for shipment for purposes of checking such firearm as baggage to be lawfully transported on any aircraft; or
15. Any place where the carrying of firearms is prohibited by federal law.
Thanks for tracking this. I emailed the Governor... not that I expect anything to change!

Would someone explain, please, how this gun-free zone is illegal?
The parties setting the conditions aren't acting as a government agency, are they?
I'm not winding you up, I really want to understand this.
