Location to be determined - stay tuned *************************************************************** ! ! ! LEGISLATUVE ALERT ! ! ! The current ‘Constitution Carry Bill’ is NOT a true constitutional carry bill. It is a permit-less carry bill. [see note below from Republican Liberty Caucus Florida www.rlcfl.org ] HOWEVER, on Thursday an open carry amendment will be introduced in Tallahassee which would make it a true Constitutional Carry Bill. Please contact Representative Robert Brackett and urge him to support this amendment: Robert A. "Robbie" Brackett 1402 The Capitol 402 South Monroe Street Tallahassee, FL 32399-1300 (850) 717-5034 Suite B2-203 1801 27th Street Vero Beach, FL 32960-3388 (772) 778-5005mail address : Follow this link to email him directly: [link removed] +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Original comments from www.rlcfl.org: Firearms HB 543 by Rep. Brannan / SB 150 by Sen. Collins. Concealed Carry of Weapons and Firearms Without a License. This bill would eliminate the requirement to have a concealed weapons permit to carry a concealed firearm. Legislators are calling this bill “Constitutional Carry”. This is a permit less concealed carry bill. That’s all it is. It is NOT a Constitutional Carry bill. It does not allow open carry and it does not address the long-standing prohibition against carrying on a college or university campus. It does not address the Unconstitutional Red Flag statute passed as part of the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas bill. Nor does it reinstate the Constitutional right of 18-, 19- and 20-year-old adult Floridians to be able to purchase a firearm from a licensed dealer, which was also abridged by the passage of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas bill in 2018. This bill falls far short of a true “Constitutional Carry” bill which is very disappointing, especially with a supermajority of Republicans in both chambers as well as a popular Republican Governor. [ The proposed amendment would change all this! ] *********************************************** WHO IS GIVING AWAY AN AR-15 ? ? ? The IRC-REC is ! ! ! Only 250 tickets available [for a donation].
