Bowling Pin Shoot

[Ken]

well, rumor has it you're not supposed to during a state of emergency and all

A pro-gun website put out some bogus info Tuesday about guns and ammo sales being suspended during a declared state of emergency. It was completely misleading. There is a FL statute that will allow that in a county if a declared local state of emergency exists in anticipation of a riot or other such "general public disorder". It has absolutely NOTHING to do with the gov's declared state of emergency in preparation for the storm. The interwebz has gone batshit over this MISINTERPRETATION of the law and everyone's wringing their hands and over-reacting. There is NO suspension of gun/ammo sales as a result of the current situation.

Recruit class on the range this week but unless something comes up, I'll be there for pins.

Well, after I read the actual executive order declaring the state of emergency, I saw that the governor delegated the powers authorized under FS 252.36 (5)-(10) to the coordinating officer. Doesn't mean they have to exercise those powers because they are to be exercised at the discretion of the governor, but as of the date of that order, they have definitely been enacted. I agree that it's a non-issue, since they didn't even suspend alcohol sales, but the powers are definitely in play. Reference EO 17-235.so it's a non issue, but could be a real issue if we had a socialist turd in the governors office; remember that at election time.
