How’s that normally work, arrested and charged, license suspended, or only after convicted?

From the reporting, sounds like Jan 6 for the Capitol police was like a whole tour in Viet Nam during the Tet offensive in one day.

Looks like someone is waving the American flag in the photo, oh the horror. The terrible destructive fires that were set, the vandalism, the looting, all that American history destroyed.

The same thing happens in Texas. See Sec. 411.187. SUSPENSION OF LICENSE:

Sec. 411.187.  SUSPENSION OF LICENSE.

The license holder may request that the justice court in the justice court precinct in which the license holder resides review the suspension as provided by Section 411.180.

Oh the Ag Commissioner is running for Governor.

[Scott Farkus]

I think she's the sole Democrat among Florida's statewide officeholders. Yeah, she's running for governor.

I don't know how it works in Florida but is the Ag Commissioner responsible for CHL permits? That seems odd.

[Soccerdad1995]

My first question is why is the Agriculture Commissioner in charge of concealed carry licenses? Seems like an odd agency to handle that.

Assuming this is an executive agency, can DeSantis overrule her?

Back when I had my Florida permit the State guy's name was Charles Bronson.
