Florida just made open carry legal after its appeals court struck down the ban as unconstitutional, declaring the right to bear arms includes carrying openly in public. At the same time, California doubles down on background checks, purchase limits, and a maze of restrictions that judges keep tossing aside. The clash between freedom in Florida and control in California is headed for the U.S. Supreme Court. The question for every Californian is clear: will Sacramento’s gun-control empire survive, or will the Court force open carry onto the Golden State?
