Judge Mark Klingensmith knew the stakes when he wrote the Fourth District Court of Appeal decision issued Feb. 18, 2015, in Norman's case.
The Fourth District was entering a "vast terra incognita of Second Amendment jurisprudence to answer a question of first impression, specifically whether the Second Amendment forbids the state of Florida from prohibiting the open carry of firearms while permitting the concealed carry of weapons under a licensing scheme," he wrote.
The court found no constitutional impediment to affirming Norman's misdemeanor conviction. Allowing individuals to have concealed weapons permits preserves the state regulation, Klingensmith concluded. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
