Florida Preemption Changes - Local gun rules coming off the books :: 08/23/2011
The worry is that someone upset about not getting a building permit could walk into a municipal building and whip out a gun to show their displeasure. Or at a park, parents get into a heated confrontation at a Little League game, and a gun comes out.
Currently, local governments have stringent ordinances that forbid guns from being brought to city parks and municipal buildings. But on Oct. 1, that will change. Last spring, the Florida Legislature passed HB 45, a law that prohibits local governments from regulating firearms and ammunition in their communities. And if they attempt to do so, they'll face severe penalties.
