BREAKING NEWS: APPEALS COURT RULES GUN ID LAWS ARE CONSTITUTIONAL...

A Florida appellate court has ruled that the state's ban on open carry of firearms is unconstitutional under the Second Amendment, citing the Supreme Court's Bruin decision. The ruling emphasizes that a blanket ban cannot survive if the plain text of the Constitution protects the conduct and the government cannot demonstrate a historical tradition supporting the restriction. This decision vacates a citizen's conviction and signals a significant shift in Florida's firearm laws, with law enforcement agencies adjusting their enforcement practices.

Florida's open carry ban, in place since 1987, has been declared unconstitutional by a district court of appeals. The Attorney General has stated that agencies should no longer enforce the ban, but some sheriffs are continuing to do so in their districts, citing the statute's presence and lack of statewide Supreme Court ruling. This creates confusion for gun owners regarding legal carry practices, especially concerning 'sensitive places' and vehicle carry regulations.

This decision by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals temporarily halts the enforcement of Judge Glenn Suddaby's ruling, which found major portions of the state's gun control law unconstitutional. The case is expected to proceed through the court system, potentially reaching the U.S. Supreme Court, as it directly relates to the Bruen decision.
