Janet Reno, Assistant State Attorney for Dade County at the time, called on the legislature to close what she called a loophole in the new statewide carry laws and outright ban Open Carry throughout the state. Having just lost their fight against Shall-Issue concealed carry, the future US Attorney General, a handful of Florida Sheriffs and Police Chiefs, and newspapers statewide went on the offensive to call for a special session of the legislature to close what they dubbed the “Dodge City Loophole”.

Good article. Thank you for posting it!
Now I just wish the politicians in Texas would find the guts to stand up to the liberals and make a stand for OC!!

The only thing "Wild West" about this is Reno's last name and her attempt to ban handguns, as did many towns throughout the West, to the detriment of the honest, law-abiding citizens who lived there.

The 'Wild West' was several orders of magnitude better than what we have now....

By all means, bring it back!
