All they need to do is either get a hearing & vote in the Judicial Committee -OR- get pulled out of committee and to the Senate floor by Andy Gardiner.

If they make it to the senate floor, they will most likely pass.  Portilla is trying to kill them in committee by refusing to hear them.

Everyone needs to be blowing up Gardiner and Portilla's phones and inboxes.

Where does Gariner stand on these issues?  Portilla is clearly trying to kill the bills and looks to be an absolute dead end.

http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/the-buzz-florida-politics/open-carry-bill-on-life-support-in-florida-senate-judiciary-chairman-says/2264593

Senate Judiciary Chairman Sen. Miguel Diaz de la Portilla, R-Miami, says a proposal allowing some gun-owners to openly carry handguns in Florida is "on life support" and he will decide this week whether to grant a hearing on it.

"I have some serious concerns about open carry in light of what happened in the House last week," Diaz de la Portilla told reporters this afternoon. "I am concerned that it may become a vehicle for some very, very bad amendments. I think that's what we learned last week. ... Because of those concerns, I'm very, very seriously considering not hearing it at all."

King Portilla is scared.

Sent my 12 letters at lunch.







Now get this- I got an email today from my Tea Party group. The Senate Judiciary Committee has a vote today on SB120.



Guess what SB120 is?




It will allow Men to Use Woman's Showers, Locker rooms & Bathrooms.



So Senator Portilla and his committee can find time to allow a vote to let men into women's restrooms but not allow a vote on a constitutional freedom.

These people need to be flooded with letters emails and phone calls.

I made a few calls to some other Senate offices, and it seems that both Gardiner and Portilla don't have a Fax number.

When I read through the Senate Directory, there were a few offices that had fax numbers listed, but theirs didn't.  Maybe they have a Fax and just aren't listing it?  Not sure...

No, FS  Chapter 100 covers election laws. FS 100.361 states that only municipal figures can be recalled. Nothing for State Officials.

Left Portilla a voicemail. Actually spoke to a nice woman in Gardiner's office. She said he will call me back shortly. I did discuss it with her and she said they are getting a lot of phone calls, emails and letters about this. I'm surprised I actually spoke to someone. I'll be shocked if Senator Gardiner calls me back. I doubt it. I'm going t keep calling though.

Anyone know if we can recall Gardiner's Senate President election and put someone pro-gun in the seat?  A different person as president also means we can get rid of Portilla when committee assignments get mess up by a new president.

Or are we just waiting out the clock on Gardiner's term there?

What we're going to have to do is pay attention to when these internal elections are going on and blow up their switchboard to elect a genuinely pro-gun person to Senate President, then demand actual pro-gun committee chairs.

I called Portilla's office back around 2:30 today.  Someone answered the phone and said they'd only gotten a few calls today about the open carry bill.  The person answering wouldn't tell if if the senator was going to hear the bill in committee.

Called them all, got voicemail, left respectful but very unambiguous messages urging Republican leadership to intervene immediately and to strongly urge Portilla to have the OC Bill, overwhelmingly passed by the House to get its vote on the Senate floor.

It was a 3/2 vote last time they voted on the senate version. They voted R= yes, D=no when they voted on the senate versions of these bills on 9/16/15 SB68, and 10/20/15 SB300.

I put the bill numbers (SB68, SB300, HB163, HB4001) on Senate Tracker ( http://www.flsenate.gov/Login/Index/2016 )

The senate versions of the bills SB68 and SB300 are stuck in the Senate Judiciary Committee by the committee chairman Senator Portilla.

The House versions of the bills HB163 and HB4001 are being put through senate committees right now and may make it to the full senate for a vote.


Its up to each committee as to how long it takes. There are at least 3 senate committees before the full senate vote.




ETA There are 28 days left in the session. Time may run out and nothing may happen if they stall it long enough.

I clearly remember Republican Senator Paula Dockery removed the campus carry portion and Republican Senator Ellyn Setnor Bogdanoff removed the open carry portion of SB234 and HB517 in 2011.

There both gone now but other RINOs like Portilla live on.

This Portilla guy says he's concerned about all the amendments and how this bill is going to be a vehicle to pass additional items but then he has said he doesn't want the streets like the Wild West.  Sounds like no matter what, he wasn't going to give any open carry bill a chance.

It sucks that one person in a committee can control the flow of bills.

Thus Florida going from a traditional red state to now a "purple" state.





Regardless, guys like Portilla need to get tossed the fuck out.

Before all of the NYers and NJites moved down or all the Latinos moved in.... FL was a May Issue State on gun rights and only if you were politically connected to the Sheriff or Judge in your county.

 



I still have the official documents from the Dade County Public Safety Department when they ran gun registration in the early 1970s. Yeah, if you bought a gun back then you had to register it with the Sheriff.




God forbid you were a person of color in the more rural counties and you wanted to buy a gun. Getting a permit to carry or openly carrying didn't happen either unless you were connected.




Florida for the most pat has always been a restrictive state. It wasn't until the 1980s that we liberalized (true use of the word) our restrictive gun laws.

The Rinos will kill it. My contacts in the Capitol tell me it is dead unless a miracle happens. Just like last year and the year before.

You dumbass people in So. Florida keep electing these sorts...........this is what you get..............either the ignorant corrupt NY/NJ or the equally corrupt Latino...............of which both types are voted for on the basis of ethnicity or accent!!!





It truly seems that all one needs for a sure thing election in those districts is either a vowel a berg, a stein or ski at the end of one's name.    But then that's what lives there.


He represents MIAMI....Well in MIAMI you got a lot of Cubans, Latinos & foreigners & more important VOTER FRAUD.


  And a ton of transplants from NY/NJ....the vast majority of which are bringing their progressive/liberal votes.

True but as the demographic pendulum continues to move to the left, pro-gun trends could absolutely be at risk in the future.
