Florida Supreme Court upholds general open-carry ban

Supreme Court upholds ban on open-carry of guns

Florida Justices Refuse To Target Open Carry Ban

Justices uphold ban on openly carrying guns

Well it appears Floridians will not be getting open carry anytime soon. Between the Florida Republican party continuously blocking open carry bills in the House and Senate, the upcoming election for the governor which more than likely go Democrat, and now this..... we're fucked.


I'm worn out and tired of the lobbying and politicking I've done this year so far. I will give it my best this legislative session, but if nothing happens this year I am done with the Florida Republican party and will do everything in my power to change them.

The dissent is a good read, and lays the groundwork for an appeal to SCOTUS.  Of course SCOTUS will never take another 2A case in my lifetime.

Powerful, powerful argument for keeping women barefoot and in the kitchen, by God!


BS, you say.........B S I reply, think about it, they get the right to vote the Volstead act passes......gambling/cathouses and other traditional male oriented entertainment goes by the wayside......then there's the anti ccw/gc movement....again staffed by that gender.


In the KITCHEN is proper...........and if young and attractive nuff, then NO robes....'specially not black ones!

I've already rallied folks for SB 646. I'm not even going to waste time on Court Carry. I have a meeting with Sen. Flores' Office on Tuesday and will be speaking in support of SB 646 at the committee meeting. 

But yes, this is what Marion Hammer is focusing on instead of SB 644 Openly Carrying a Handgun . Which is full legit open carry
