Florida Carry, Inc. warns Hillsborough County about preempti

#1

Post by gthaustex »

Saw this article about a non-profit watchdog group that represents concealed carry licensees and gun owners in Florida slapping down the Hillsborough County Commissioners Court. The Court directed the county atty to research ways the county could enact its own ordinances prohibiting certain firearms and/or ammo in violation of Florida state pre-emption laws. Reminds me of the warnings from AG Abbott when some places in Texas not too long ago started discussing something similar....
Florida Carry, Inc.a nonprofit watchdog that represents thousands of concealed carry licensees and gun owners, occasionally has to remind local governments that state preemption statutes prohibit them from enacting their own local firearms laws. Otherwise local lawmakers could create a “patchwork” of gun-free zones that would make travel difficult if not impossible for anyone who was armed.
The Hillsborough County Commission recently tasked County Attorney Chip Fletcher to explore ways that the county could enact its own ordinances to ban certain types of firearms and ammunition.

They should stop warning officials, let a city mess up, then nail them as hard as they can. After a couple of city officials have to pay personally, there will be no further need to warn anyone.

Best way for idiots to learn. :smash:

Does Texas have a similar group?
Be without fear in the face of your enemies.
Stand brave and upright that the Lord may love thee.
Speak the truth always even if it means your death.
Protect the helpless and do no wrong!
