Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier declined to offer his opinion Tuesday on whether the Florida Legislature should put the open carrying of firearms in Florida into state statute. Sheriff Judd indicated at that press conference that he believes that the Legislature needs to act. Second Amendment advocates spoke out last week opposing any such bill, fearing such a measure could restrict the open-carry policy the ruling established. He reported that the House Sergeant’s office said that it was “a precaution” following the change in law. Meanwhile, a progressive group in Florida is criticizing Uthmeier for his position.
