struck down on
September 10, 2025, by the
First District Court of Appeal, marking a major shift in the state’s gun laws.
The court ruled that Florida’s longstanding ban on openly carrying firearms is
unconstitutional, citing the
Second Amendment and a 2022 U.S. Supreme Court decision that emphasized the “historical tradition” of firearm regulation
The case was brought by
Stanley Victor Mcdaniels, who was arrested in 2022 while openly carrying a handgun during a political demonstration in Pensacola
Judge Stephanie Ray wrote:
“No historical tradition supports Florida’s Open Carry Ban… history confirms that the right to bear arms in public necessarily includes the right to do so openly.”
The ruling applies to
North Florida for now, but it opens the door for broader challenges statewide
Governor Ron DeSantis praised the decision, saying it aligns with his long-held position and the majority of states across the U.S.
Attorney General James Uthmeier also supported the ruling, calling it a
“big win for the Second Amendment rights of Floridians”
So, let's recap the Ignorance here...shall we.
