Gun control advocates have likened Florida to the wild west after the state’s attorney general endorsed an appeals court ruling allowing residents to openly carry handguns, a move one Democrat said created a “hot mess” of confusion.
James Uthmeier proclaimed that “open carry is the law of the state” following the determination by the first district court of appeal earlier this month said that a 1987 Florida statute banning the open display of firearms contravened the second amendment of the US constitution.
