It's nice to know that there are some political types out there who're on the ball.
On Oct. 1st, Florida statute 790.33 will go into effect making it illegal for any local government to try and supercede Florida's state firearm laws. Penalties for officials who attempt to enforce such renegade laws include fines of up to $5000, restitution for legal fees for anyone affected by such laws (i.e. arrested), and - this is my favorite - termination of employment/removal from office by the governor.
The locals can no longer exclude CCed weapons from parks, public libraries, etc., etc., so long as the bearer has a valid permit. There will be no NYC-style gun laws here in Florida. Sure, we may have to jump through an easy hoop to get a permit (something I don't mind) but it's nice to have the men & women in Tallahassee backing us up once we get one.
