Ashley Moody is still fighting for the 18-20 year old purchase ban as well. Because the legal system is controlled by leftists, it will be very difficult to get these kinds of laws overturned through courts. 1.5 years after Bruen New Yorker’s have far LESS gun rights recognized. And nobody cares.

Totally agree. The other side keeps passing post-Bruen "tantrum laws," which we need to contest. Unfortunately, it takes our time and our money to fight these. This is lawfare, pure and simple.

The state I live in. You can't carry into a bar also. With in the last year. An off duty police officer from out of state. Was waving his gun around in a bar. No charges filed. If I had done that. I'd still be in jail.

Florida's red flag laws are why I would never vote for Desantis. He has control and could easily get that changed.

I'm pretty sure we'll see SUPCO kill the red flag crap sooner rather than later. They've already hinted about them, that they consider them uncon.

So that's where they get all the guns to sell in the black market....they take them from law abiding citizens...

In SC we can finally carry in establishments. Can’t consume. In CT, we could also have a drink with dinner while carrying, but .08 sobriety was enforced. Unevenly enforced. (This CT law may have recently changed with a flood of new post-Bruin refs.)

Floriduh's 2nd Amendment Rights are significantly lagging compared to JawGA, which has Open and Constitutional Carry...... and "generally" more polite police towards obviously honest citizens from my experience living in both states.

As I read this article I kept shaking my head thinking, 'Did the officers and Sheriff's Office not know the law or did they purposely misapply it just to see how much would stick. Perhaps they disagree with hot the laws are written and simply enforced them as they preferred to interpret them.

For instance if a conceal carrier displays his gun in an unthreatening manner, intentionally or unintentionally, it's not a crime in Florida. And a conceal carrier can have his gun on him while drinking alcohol and it is not legally considered to be "Using a firearm" ---however his blood alcohol level better be below 0.05% or he might have to perform a sobriety test for impairment (a person can be judged impaired without having more than 0.010% level.) (Fl SS 790.157 (2) (a) (b) (c))

The assistant state's attorney did the right thing in throwing out 790.10 and 790.151(3) because the officers grossly applied those statutes.

But I have a question which I have not had time to research yet, which is, 'if the state statutes exist even after the Bruen decision became federal law, doesn't the state law still have to be adhered in the state courts from the district to state supreme courts levels until such time as the state becomes compliant with the Supreme Court's decision and rewrites the laws?'

Most FL police & deputies Consider THEY Are The LAW. They arrest & charge "at will" usually with "Attitude" when dealing with mere citizens. With Real Criminals, Cartels, they either Avoid confrontations or are veery careful not to offend. Ever wonder Why???
