Controversial gun bills dominated the early part of legislative session but ultimately fizzled out for 2016. As Matt Galka tells us, the courts could end up deciding if Florida reinstates open carry.
Dale Norman was arrested and charged in Fort Pierce, Florida in 2012. He was openly carrying his gun in a holster. He had a concealed carry permit but was violating it under state law…he was hit with a misdemeanor and a 300 dollar fine.
Norman and gun rights group Florida Carry have been appealing the decision ever since. Now it will be in the hands of the state’s high court.
The Florida Supreme Court will hear the case in June. |

TO REMEMBER |
| As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
