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 |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
