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. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
