The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office, and the Pensacola Police Department will no longer enforce the state’s open carry law either, according to the Pensacola News Journal.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office announced on Wednesday that it has informed officers that they cannot detain or arrest solely based on openly carrying a firearm.
“We have not issued a change in policy yet on this matter but it is anticipated soon,” said Javonni Hampton with the Leon County Sheriff’s Department.
As with all judicial rulings, we will carefully evaluate its implications for our operations and make any necessary adjustments,” said Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister on Friday.
This story was updated on September 12 to include a response from the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.
