Florida Sheriffs Halt Open Carry Enforcement Following Court Ruling
Tallahassee, FL – In a rapidly evolving legal landscape, the Florida Sheriffs association is now advising its members to cease enforcing the state’s prohibition on openly carrying firearms. This guidance follows a landmark ruling by the 1st District Court of Appeal on September 10th, wich deemed the existing law unconstitutional, citing its incompatibility with the Second Amendment.
The court’s 20-page opinion asserted that Florida’s ban lacked grounding in historical tradition. The decision initially sparked confusion among law enforcement agencies,with some sheriffs immediately declaring open carry legal via social media.
