Opinion: Florida Supreme Court Rules “Open Carry” is Not Protected By 2nd Amendment

The Florida High Court's Justices ruled that the Second Amendment does not protect that ridiculous "open carry" practice and it was another setback for the NRA’s attempts to force the nation’s courts to abolish any and all firearm restrictions as unconstitutional.

In Florida last week while the nation was mesmerized by the non-stop news that America’s government has been infiltrated by Ruskie operatives with a veritable cadre of Russian spies firmly ensconced in the White House, the state’s Supreme Court upheld as constitutional a Florida law that prohibited “open carry of firearms in public.” A practice that has been banned since the nation’s founding and just recently imposed by NRA-indebted Republicans to enrich the gun industry.

The Florida High Court’s Justices ruled that the Second Amendment does not protect that ridiculous “open carry” practice and it was another setback for the NRA’s attempts to force the nation’s courts to abolish any and all firearm restrictions as unconstitutional. The Florida High Court concluded, like many other state and federal courts around the nation, that the Second Amendment cannot be read to prohibit states from regulating the various ways guns are kept and used.
 
That article is very biased. Ultimately state court rulings only matter to state laws and state Constitutions. This may only effect Fla residents until a federal court strikes it down.
 
What Art said. I'm closing this down also because it is a very biased and poorly done article (and an example of the lousy information that gets posted in Internet blogs much of the time).

While the Norman case is a worthwhile case to discuss, we can't possibly discuss it based on the article. If someone wants to start a new thread on the subject and include a link to the actual opinion of the Florida Supreme Court, that would be the way to go.
