Florida will go Constitutional Carry in 2023

[rambling_one]

My concern in dropping Florida is based on when/how MD treats carry permits in the future. Even if SCOTUS slaps ‘em down it could well be after I am no longer around.

The statement was made that the southern half of FL is full of NY liberals, isn’t Miami in the southern half?

I believe the statement was southwest Florida was as blue as could be, or something. Miami is southEAST Florida.

 

[swinokur]

In reference to liberals in Fl it was the south that was mentioned

 

[swinokur]

Only the southern half.

Here is what I replied to

But as I said, the southern part is the best part.

Palm Beach was nice.

Yea. Why don't you go spear fishing off Palm Coast and see how that works for you now.

That's scary. While the single shot bang stick could be reloaded, it would get tricky underwater with a second shark attacking and easy to drop either the cartridge, plunger, or safety pin while reloading.

I love fly fishing the flats.

You better keep your hands and feet inside the boat these days. I used to swim at any beach wherever I would stay in Florida. Now, no freaking way will I swim down there. I got a new heavy duty 12 inch Bowie and am looking at Bang sticks just for when I go kayaking down there.

Sharks are scary. But I know a few folks who frequently SCUBA dive with them and have no trouble. Generally speaking I don't think sharks are interested in attacking people. Surfers get hit a bit because it is presumed they look a lot like seals to the sharks. Mostly I think they bite and let go. Not good for the bite-ee, of course, but a good chance of not getting eaten at least.

Of course, there are always exceptions.

That is my plan as well. Was going to go next week to get my FLA fingerprints done for the application. Might hold off now, and see what Utah can give me?

If all you want it for is for Delaware you might find Maine is easier.

I've had big nurse sharks swim by me while wading. At least I hope they were nurse sharks!

Of course. Just got my FL non resident last month.

YEp, me too...

Question regarding the federal GFSZA - if a state does not issue permits at all, does that open school properties within the federal law?

 

[swinokur]

The only state that does not issue permits is VT

The GFSZA makes no exception for VT

Palm coast is awesome. Still would rather swim at the beach than inland

 

[John from MD]

Palm Coast is awesome but I won't go wading until they initiate drone surveillance with missile carrying drones.

I guess I'm a little confused. Why would a state that is constitutional carry issue permits? Just to get around GFSZA and/or similar state laws?

VT never issued permits. All other CC states already had permit systems in place. The other reason is to keep reciprocity for residents who travel. Look at UT
