From the Substack:

“We have made every attempt for 15 years to negotiate incremental stops to restore the rights of Floridians and visitors,” he said. “But the legislature as a whole chose to support and follow the wishes of law enforcement rather than protect the rights of citizens. Arguably, they have put law enforcement in a worse position by having to comply with this ruling immediately rather than phasing in the law over 30 or 60 days. I hope the legislature will be more willing to work with us, and that the Florida Sheriffs Association will work with us to restore more rights rather than to continue to negate our rights.”

Sarasota County Sheriff Kurt Hoffman is one of Florida’s most pro-gun sheriffs.

Hoffman spent Monday making sure his deputies were prepared for the changes. He has sent emails to his staff and is preparing a video.

Like many other Florida sheriffs, Hoffman ordered his deputies to stop making arrests for open carry last week, after the appellate court released its decision.

“I didn’t see any reason to wait,” he said. “I am excited about it. This is long overdue.”

You do not need the case for anything; we have the Bill of Rights. The Second Amendment was incorporated against the state through the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment in 2010 via McDonald v. City of Chicago, recognized by AG Skrmetti in the Beeler Consent Agreement, 2022.

Any of the culls that you’re shilling for had anything to say about the Huges v. Lee case?

You know, the one about the unalienable right to arms?

Shill? We don't do that. But it appears that you may.

But we read the case: One county chancellor swung for the fences on two old carry laws, skipped an injunction, and left a mess. Skrmetti hit “appeal” so Tennesseans get one statewide rule instead of 95 flavors of confusion.

If you’ve got a page/line that says otherwise, post it.

I say it is Official Oppression, read TCA 39-16-403 and get back to me.

Your ability to discern is sorely lacking.

It was a duly constituted three judge panel, a child of the legislature set up to decide constitutional issues, populated by two Circuit Court Judges additional to that “one county chancellor “ that were appointed by the Tennessee Supreme Court, in accordance with the law.

The defendants were, among others, the governor of the state, the Attorney General of the state, the Order is in effect statewide. The Motion for stay says that the removal of the unconstitutional “intent to go armed” statue would allow drunks to stagger down Broad Street, Market Square and Shelby Farms, none of them in that “one county chancellor’s” county , which is a judicial district not a single county.

Do you, or the consortium of whoever this blog is, consider 39-17-1307 (a) constitutional.

You doth protest too much.

There’s no scandal here—just procedure. You don’t like the process, fine. But that’s not the same as wrongdoing. Save the tears for when something actually goes wrong.
