New Jersey Gun Case Exposes 'Patchwork' of State Laws, Experts Say - FoxNews.com

 

[moischmoe]

From the FoxNews article:
"And just last week in Boyton Beach, Fla., a 49-year-old man was charged with two counts of carrying a concealed firearm and three counts of carrying a prohibited weapon after he was spotted carrying a holstered .40-caliber Glock handgun with a 30-round magazine at a Walmart store. The gun's owner, Christopher Scott, said he had a valid permit in Arizona and thought it was reciprocal in Florida, the Palm Beach Post reported."

Kinda hard to conceal that.

Seriously, it's too bad that Federal, State, County, City, ect governments...all have different interpretations of what "...shall not be infringed." means. Maybe they all should check with Merriam-Webster.

Can you say....

OOPS!

 

[holejack1]

Yeah, I thought Florida was reciprocal too. Says so on thier own website here: http://licgweb.doacs.state.fl.us/FORMS/ReciprocityList.pdf
Does anyone know what the deal is with this case? I go to FL a lot and don't want to get in any trouble.

State handgun laws and reciprocity/recognition comprise a big can of worm, and the worms are always changing and moving!

The best internet source I've found for the current can of worms is:
Handgunlaw.us, which is linked to each state's A.G office.

The "bear traps" are plentious, and it is nigh on impossible to find them all. For example, most states have "preemption," which means cities, counties, towns, etc., may not pass/enforce laws and ordinances more stringent than state law. However, not all states have preemption (Illinois, for example), and not all preemption states have complete preemption; there may be exceptions.

Tis a muddle!

All the BS laws around do nothing more than to make a legal gun owner a criminal. Remember the government is doing nothing more than criminalizing everyone because a criminal is easier to control than a free man.
