Constitutional Carry In Florida And Alabama
BY Herschel Smith
2 years, 11 months ago
Some top Florida Republican lawmakers have now said they would support constitutional carry legislation in the upcoming session.
The policy would allow all legal gun owners to carry firearms without a concealed weapons license.
The constitutional carry legislation was filed by the Legislature’s most outspoken conservative member, Rep. Anthony Sabatini.
“Our very liberal Republican Speaker Chris Sprowls has gotten tens of thousands of emails from gun groups,” said Sabatini.
The policy is split into two bills.
The first would allow gun owners to carry concealed weapons without a license.
“You don’t have to go ask the government for permission,” said Sabatini.
The second would allow for open carry.
Please tell me that open carry will pass, and that I don’t have to watch any more idiotic police antics with cops showing their ass to everybody when guys open carry while fishing? Please?
A southwest Alabama sheriff and a state House member are again jousting over whether the state should abolish permits to carry concealed handguns.
AL.com reports that Mobile County Sheriff Sam Cochran spoke before the Mobile County Commission last week endorsing a resolution to keep permits. But state Rep. Shane Stringer, a Citronelle Republican who plans to sponsor a bill in next year’s legislative session abolishing the state’s permit requirement, urged commissioners to reject the resolution. A vote on the resolution could come Dec. 28.
Stringer is a former Mobile County sheriff’s captain who was fired by Cochran because the two disagree on gun permits. Stringer argues for “constitutional carry,” the view that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution bars states from requiring permits or collecting fees for people to carry guns.
Remember Sheriff Sam Cochran (aka, Boss Hogg) who literally fired Stringer for having different political views? Yes, that Boss Hogg.
To the folks in Mobile County. Please tell me you’re going to find a way to get rid of that tyrannical goober you have for Sheriff. Please?

I don’t see it happening in Florida, regardless. A couple of reasons: 1) Snowflake fat-walleted tourists from leftist hives, and 2) the FHP/Sheriffs/local agencies/etc. get all puffed up with their perceived monopoly on display of force. Legal carry-wise, we’re upward of 30% in the state. Add in the rebels, and there ya have the math. The LEOs would literally shat their panties down here if everything came out in the open. I’m CCW, so I don’t really care one way or another. But, I have to admit it might be fun to drag an LR308 into Dollar General while the Canadians are blocking the aisles.

Stringer is correct but it goes well beyond the legal argument. As the fifth commandment of Holy God implicitly yet obviously has the expectation of just parenting, so too does the sixth commandment have the expectation that just men would also prevent unjust killing.
“Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.” Fifth Commandment – Exodus 20:12
“Thou shalt not kill.” Sixth commandment – Exodus 20:13

“Thou shalt not kill” is a bad translation; “Thou shall not murder” is a much more correct translation.
