Nikki Fried, Florida's anti-gun Commissioner of Agriculture clearly violated Florida law and pretended to have authority she is specifically denied by statute [f.s.790.06(15)].  She knew it. She was even formally asked  to stop it by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody.  Imagine the waste of State tax dollars if Nikki Fried's conduct results in a lawsuit against the State when the Attorney General is already on record warning Fried against such actions.

Florida threatened with lawsuit over cancellation of online concealed carry applications

Young Americans for Liberty president Cliff Maloney is pursuing litigation against a Florida official for thwarting his ability to obtain a firearm amid social distancing restrictions in response to coronavirus.

Mr. Maloney sent a letter on Wednesday to Florida Department of Agricultural and Consumer Services commissioner Nikki Fried threatening litigation because of the commissioner's decision to suspend online applications for concealed weapons licenses amid the coronavirus outbreak.

While Ms. Fried, Florida Democrat, closed off online applications for concealed carry licenses, she was scheduled to appear in an online town hall with presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joseph R. Biden on Wednesday evening.

Ms. Fried was listed as moderator of a discussion with Mr. Biden during the virtual rally on Wednesday, according to Mr. Biden's campaign website which has since removed the webpage. Mr. Maloney's letter was sent to Ms. Fried when she was moderating the discussion, according to Mr. Maloney.

"It's truly sad to see Nikki Fried exploiting the COVID-19 crisis to further her anti-Second Amendment agenda," said Mr. Maloney. "She can host an online fundraiser for Joe Biden, but she can't accept online applications for concealed weapons licenses? Commissioner Fried needs to stop infringing on the constitutional right of Floridians to protect themselves and their families."....READ MORE

Imagine if Marion were to be the one to spearhead the lawsuit with one of the folks involved in this.
No i can't either she's to busy sitting on her purring cats. Waste of money and influence she is/was.

Between this and the illegal "Decision Pending" status on Background Checks that alot of CCW holders are getting, thisbstate needs to take legal action quickly.

I know Florida Carry is suing FDLE over it

Aw, come on.  She wrote a letter!

Do we think that bitch will be running for gov next?

Not too concerned. She shouldn't have even been Agriculture Commissioner, there was some funny stuff with the votes if I remember right.

Anyway she better start up the CCW permits asap now that the state is open for business again

Another Nikki Moment!

Friend,

A gun-rights group is threatening to sue me, the NRA is attacking me AGAIN, and so is Florida's Attorney General.

In a blatant political move, Attorney General Moody implied in a letter that I've halted the processing of concealed weapons licenses -- that's straight-up not true. Then, in a coordinated political attack, the NRA piled on by accusing me of "unlawfully exercising her anti-gun desires." And now, an obscure right-wing fringe group said I could expect a lawsuit for "infringing" on Floridian's rights.

They can't handle that we've brought full accountability and background checks to Florida's 2 million concealed weapons licenses, while making the program more efficient. It doesn't fit the narrative of the out-of-touch, out-of-control NRA and its cohorts.

Instead of playing politics in a pandemic, Attorney General Moody should investigate the negligence with which the Governor's unemployment system is failing to get assistance to Florida's working families during this time of need.

I promised Floridians that I would stand up to the NRA, that it would no longer have any power in our state's Department of Agriculture. I will not be bullied by them now! They may spread lies and false information to advance their agenda, but it won't be advanced on my watch.

Thanks for joining the fight,

Nikki

The cat woman is no longer a force. Wayne is too busy with his suits.
