Please call your State House Rep. Now!
Sponsor the Bill to Repeal the Florida Open Carry Ban.
Florida House of Representatives - MyFloridaHouse.gov to lookup your Rep. and call their “District Office”.
Tell them who you are, that you are a member of the “Florida Open Carry Movement”, and you would like to speak to a legislative aide. Be prepared to leave your number, the Aide may need to call you back.
• Let them know that Florida is one of only seven states that bans openly carrying a legally possessed pistol (FL Statute 790.053). Open Carry is legal in 43 States but banned in Florida.
• Most states require no license to open carry.
• Governor-Elect Scott has pledged to sign a repeal of the open carry ban if we can get the bill to his desk. We are looking for a sponsor for the bill.
• Oklahoma will probably pass open carry this year also.
• Will the Representative consider sponsoring the bill this session?
o If they decline to meet or to even consider taking up the bill, ask why.
If the aid or Representative wants language for the bill, tell them you will have it sent to them and get an email address to send it to.
If they wish to discuss it in-depth, please consider making an appointment to speak to the Rep. in person.
Once done with the call, send an email to me at: sean@open-http://www.facebook.com/l/f9076aRn8jeMXEy6PmMJ7hxM47g;carry.org

Notes
Example:
Subject: Rep. Hancock (R) District 98
I’m John Q. Public and I live in Port Orange (Daytona Beach Area) Volusia County.
I spoke to Jane Doe, Legislative Aide to Rep. John Hancock this morning at 11:30am. (Phone 123-555-7905)
Jane seamed receptive and asked questions about open and concealed carry and the laws in other states. I have a meeting to discuss this with the rep tomorrow, 11/13/10 at 9:30am
Jane also said that Rep. Mao from District 91 thinks that gun owners are crazy and all firearms should be banned. Rep. Mao also wants to ban puppies and kittens.
