“In a major decision, a state appeals court Wednesday ruled that Florida’s ban on openly carrying guns is unconstitutional. A three-judge panel of the 1st District Court of Appeal, pointing to U.S. Supreme Court rulings on Second Amendment issues, said the open-carry ban is incompatible with the nation’s ‘historical tradition of firearm regulation.’ ‘No historical tradition supports Florida’s open carry ban,’ Judge Stephanie Ray wrote in a 20-page opinion joined by Judges Lori Rowe and M. Kemmerly Thomas. ‘To the contrary, history confirms that the right to bear arms in public necessarily includes the right to do so openly. That is not to say that open carry is absolute or immune from reasonable regulation.'” [editor’s note: The Second Amendment says EXACTLY that the right to keep and bear arms is absolute and that there’ no such thing as “reasonable” regulation – TLK] (09/10/25)
