Here in FL local governments still pass their own ordinances, and the victim has to fight it in court. There's no penalty clause in the state preemption law, so local governments have no incentive to obey it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-30530396816135266892011-02-13T21:32:08.705-05:002011-02-13T21:32:08.705-05:00Gary and Speedway are the only towns, right?

Don't get me wrong, I support the bill since I live in Speedway, but it hasn't been enforced here for awhile (at least under the old chief).<br /><br />Another bill that I hope passes but probably won't is the school restrictions reform. Right now case law of the pickup clause makes stepping out of the car or even not being the driver and carrying a felon. Plus a lot places can be considered a school due to the vague school function/school property clause. The bill would take down to a misdemeanor. It would allow people with LTCHs to store the gun in the locked car out of sight. They wouldn't have to be disarmed on the way home if they wanted to take in a game, play, or teacher's conference. <br /><br />Also as I read it would allow teachers to store a gun in their car if they wanted. They still wouldn't be protected from getting fired by the parking lot bill's educational places clause but it would be a better option than what is available now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-70316902788605327252011-02-13T20:10:39.606-05:002011-02-13T20:10:39.606-05:00New Mexico, at last, is considering SB 220, a Cast...New Mexico, at last, is considering SB 220, a Castle Doctrine law.
