HB 45 has counties running scared from gun control
Gulf Breeze City Council today unanimously OK'd allowing the city attorney to rescind and amend ordinances on its book that may conflict with a new state gun law.
And, as usual, those ‘in charge’ whine and cry that they’re being held to the same laws the ‘little people’
Any appointed or elected government official or department head who enacts or enforces a law that conflicts with the state law will personally face fines up to $100,000 and lawsuits "I've never seen a more broadly and poorly worded law," Dannheisser said. That is worrisome, he said. The broad nature of the law paves the way to a whole cottage industry of lawyers seeking to sue city and county officials who may not realize they have laws that may in some way be construed as regulating the use of guns, Dannheisser said.

It’s worrisome because now breaking the law might cost these people actual monetary damages and jail time. WHO WILL THINK OF THE CHILDREN????
Councilman David Landfair asked Dannheisser if Florida will become like Texas, "Where there are guns everywhere."
The guns are everywhere right now as it is. I carry practically everywhere. I don’t care one whit if my carrying violates your illegal ordinance. Neither do the criminals. And, like Texas, we’re not losing a 1/3rd of our citizenry to drunken shootouts over the best picnic spots at the local park.
