Probably not posted on the House site yet... but saw the vote streamed. Usual suspects, etc... but it passed.
Here's a link to the bill... http://www.myfloridahouse.gov/Sections/Bills/billsdetail.aspx?BillId=53085 |

Nice.
Heard on the news the other day that it was for students and faculty, but reading the bill it takes the entire section regarding colleges out.
|
|
I found the preamble interesting:
An act relating to licenses to carry concealed weapons or firearms; amending s. 790.06, F.S.; deleting a provision prohibiting concealed carry licensees from openly carrying a handgun or carrying a concealed weapon or firearm into a college or university facility; providing an effective date.I was hoping there was something in there about 'open carry,' but it appears to be an encompassing phrase. eta: edit for formatting |
|
I hope this passes.
They make you pay taxes and jump through hoops to get a permit, but still don't trust you to carry a gun on campus. It's bullshit. |
|
|
So this bill will allow non students as well as students with CCWs to carry legally on campuses?
Great, then I could carry legally when I attend the oldies concerts at FAU. |

View Quote Actually in it's current form, it won't do anything, at all. Removing 790.06(12)(a)(13) does not change the fact that it is unlawful to carry a firearm on the property of any school. 790.115(2)(a) |

The rest of 790.06 addresses elementary and secondary schools. This addresses colleges and universities. Two different animals. |

Regardless of changes to 790.06, this statute still makes it unlawful to have a firearm (outside of one securely encased in your car) on the property of any school. 790.115(2)(a) A person shall not possess any firearm, electric weapon or device, destructive device, or other weapon as defined in s. 790.001(13), including a razor blade or box cutter, except as authorized in support of school-sanctioned activities, at a school-sponsored event or on the property of any school, school bus, or school bus stop; however, a person may carry a firearm:
1. In a case to a firearms program, class or function which has been approved in advance by the principal or chief administrative officer of the school as a program or class to which firearms could be carried; 2. In a case to a career center having a firearms training range; or 3. In a vehicle pursuant to s. 790.25(5); except that school districts may adopt written and published policies that waive the exception in this subparagraph for purposes of student and campus parking privileges. For the purposes of this section, “school” means any preschool, elementary school, middle school, junior high school, secondary school, career center, or postsecondary school, whether public or nonpublic. |

There is no 790.06(12)(d), I think you are talking about 790.06(15)(d), that is already addressed in Federal law which allows for CCW holders to carry on school grounds if allowed by the state the school happens to be in. Since this bill would delete 790.06(12)(a)(12) that would mean Florida would then allow CCW holders to carry on College and University campuses meaning it would not be a violation of the federal statute and 790.06(15)(d) would not apply. |

So, how many people will get "arrested" before this is explained in simple English and understood by the don't-taze-me-bro campus police ??

I imagine they are already following developments as the bills move towards enactment. |

(b) A person licensed under this section shall not be prohibited from carrying or storing a firearm in a vehicle for lawful purposes. (c) This section does not modify the terms or conditions of s. 790.251(7). (d) Any person who knowingly and willfully violates any provision of this subsection commits a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083. that is already addressed in Federal law which allows for CCW holders to carry on school grounds if allowed by the state the school happens to be in. It does nothing of the kind. It simply exempts those folks from application of the law. It allows nothing! Since this bill would delete 790.06(12)(a)(12) Actually it's 790.06(12)(a)(13) A change will also be needed to revise 790.115(2)(a) which currently makes it unlawful to carry a rearm onto the property of any school (except those securely encased in a vehicle). |

About as easy at a Roll Call meeting with the Shift Sgt saying " Hey, CCW is legal on campus starting Monday. You see someone carry and not acting a fool. Ask to see a CCW and DL. Remember, this is concealed carry only. If they're acting a fool. Take appropriate action." View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

If they're acting a fool. Take appropriate action. Presumably you mean the LEO has facts that support a RS of criminal activity? |
