Somebody in Florida needs to bring suite against the state that the law is unconstitutional.
Florida's constitution at Article I section 2 in part says: "Basic rights.—
All natural persons, female and male alike, are equal before the law and
have inalienable rights, among which are the right to enjoy and
defend life and liberty, to pursue happiness..."
Florida's constitution at Article I section 8 in part says: "Right to bear arms.—(a) The right of the people to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves and of the lawful authority of the state shall not be infringed,
except that the manner of bearing arms may be regulated by law.
Section 2 says you have a right to defend your life. Section 8 says you have a right to bear arms. But the problem is from that part beyond is unconstitutional. They cannot regulate the method in which you carry, how many days you have to wait to purchase, etc.
Heller said:
"At the time of the founding, as now, to “bear” meant to “carry.” See Johnson 161; Webster; T. Sheridan, A Complete Dictionary of the English Language (1796); 2 Oxford English Dictionary 20 (2d ed. 1989) (hereinafter Oxford). When used with “arms,” however, the term has a meaning that refers to carrying for a particular purpose—confrontation. In
Muscarello v. United States, 524 U. S. 125 (1998), in the course of analyzing the meaning of “carries a firearm” in a federal criminal statute, JUSTICE GINSBURG wrote that "surely a most familiar meaning is, as the Constitution’s Second Amendment . . . indicates: ‘
wear, bear, or carry . . . upon the person or in the clothing or in a pocket, for the purpose . . . of being armed and ready for offensive or defensive action in a case of conflict with another person.’”
Id., at 143 (dissenting opinion) (quoting Black’s Law Dictionary 214 (6th ed. 1998)). We think that JUSTICE GINSBURG accurately captured the natural meaning of “bear arms.” Although the phrase implies that the carrying of the weapon is for the purpose of “offensive or defensive action,” it in no way connotes participation in a structured military organization.
From our review of founding-era sources, we conclude that this natural meaning was also the meaning that “bear arms” had in the 18th century."
Per
Bruen you have a right to carry for self defense. The meaning of "carry" as it applies to "Carry arms or weapons" means to carry on your person in your clothes/pocket and about your person, meaning in a satchel or purse.
But the USSC in
Muscarello v. United States, 524 U. S. 125 (1998) said: "Carry arms or weapon" is not limited, but expansive. Meaning the term carry extends to a person who knowingly possesses and conveys firearms in a vehicle, including in the locked glove compartment or trunk of a car, which the person accompanies.
I think
Heller, McDonald and especially
Bruen destroys that view. Historically you have a right to go armed when traveling. Why, because congress and the state do NOT have the privilege to regulate the god given right to keep and bear arms.
