Open Carry Comes Up Again In Florida

Ron DeSantis told a gun rights advocacy group that people should not need a permit to openly carry a firearm in public, according to the group’s lawyer and a release sent out by the organization this week.
Eric Friday, the general counsel for Florida Carry, said he met with DeSantis in Kissimmee while the Congressman was there for the Republican “Sunshine Summit” in June, which featured a debate between DeSantis and his rival in the governor’s race, Adam Putnam, as well as prominent speeches from prominent Republicans like Ben Carson.
DeSantis’ position was originally touted in a roundup earlier this week of various lawmakers’ stances on gun issues based on conversations they had with the group.

“What Congressman DeSantis said is he doesn’t understand why you need a license to exercise a fundamental right in the first place,” Friday said in an interview with the Times/Herald. “He did not make a commitment to support open carry or unlicensed carry. He didn’t say he would he would push for it in the Legislature (if elected governor).”
“We were very pleased with his answers and very pleased to hear him express support,” Friday added.
If he’s merely throwing scraps from the master’s table and refuses to push for this or say he supports open carry, then why is Friday pleased with DeSantis?
Am I missing something here?
And as for our God-given right of open carry, how is this proceeding in the other more liberal states in the country, like California, Hawaii and South Carolina?
South Carolina?

Tennessee? Well, Bill Lee, who just won the Republican Primaries, told me that he would defer to Police on this issue. I’m pretty certain TN will have the Red Flag law before too long into his administration. I think I’ll vote democrat in the hope that if that person (I have no idea who it is) get’s elected then the ‘Right’ will actually fight back.
Oh and, Trump just made .50 cal bolt uppers a firearm. Poof! NRA…? Crickets.
Ya know, if’n the dot guv is scared of us maybe they should ask themselves why and for what reason would they need to fear us if we’re all a free a people under God.

More ‘Lip Service’ from a politician…
Fred – the .gov DOES NOT consider us “Free People under God” (((they))) are mostly communists who see ‘the people’ as their slaves and assets. This will and Can Not be Changed by ‘voting’. It will only Change when the godless commies get thrown into the Wood-Chippers and sent to Hel where they came from.
