A Florida court of appeals has declared the state's ban on open-carrying handguns unconstitutional under the Second Amendment. This ruling, in McDaniels v. Florida, challenges the 2017 Florida Supreme Court decision in Norman v. Florida, which upheld the ban. Attorney General James Uthmeier has issued a memorandum stating the McDaniels decision is binding statewide, arguing the Norman ruling applied an outdated legal standard. However, the practical effect in counties not directly covered by the First District Court of Appeals remains uncertain, as the Florida Supreme Court's prior ruling still stands as the highest precedent.

This video discusses a recent ruling by Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Milton Hiers that declared an amendment to Florida's Stand Your Ground law unconstitutional. The amendment, signed by Governor Rick Scott and backed by the NRA, shifted the burden of proof back to the prosecution, a change the judge argued should have originated from the Florida Supreme Court. The video contrasts this with the 2015 shift that placed the burden on defendants, stemming from the George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin case.
