OK, not being from Florida, I have to ask what law the article was talking about. Is this a new Statewide preemption law that was recently passed?
holy crap!!! That is sweet!no, please reread the 6th paragraph again:
"all those [local governments] ordinances have been illegal for years because state [preemption] law prevents cities and counties from regulating guns. But a new law, set to take effect oct. 1, takes it a step further. It allows judgments of up to $100,000 against local governments that enforce such laws. And, in an unusual move, the law also says local officials could be fired and fined $5,000, with no representation from the city or county attorney."
