870.044 Automatic emergency measures.—Whenever the public official declares that a state of emergency exists, pursuant to s. 870.043, the following acts shall be prohibited during the period of said emergency throughout the jurisdiction:(1) The sale of, or offer to sell, with or without consideration, any ammunition or gun or other firearm of any size or description.
(2) The intentional display, after the emergency is declared, by or in any store or shop of any ammunition or gun or other firearm of any size or description.
(3) The intentional possession in a public place of a firearm by any person, except a duly authorized law enforcement official or person in military service acting in the official performance of her or his duty.
Nothing contained in this chapter shall be construed to authorize the seizure, taking, or confiscation of firearms that are lawfully possessed, unless a person is engaged in a criminal act.
All of the above will be repealed. IIRC, the last line was added the year after Hurricane Katrina and the disgusting firearms confiscation in New Orleans leaving good people unarmed.
Nice.
But one wonders why that needs to be repealed, since it is obvious to anyone with an IQ greater than a root vegetable (to quote the inimitable Sen. Kennedy of LA) that all that text is utterly unconstitutional.
Has it been used against anyone? What happened when it was challenged?
It would make a good test: any judge who upholds this is guilty of impeachable offenses and needs to be removed and disqualified for life.
Yes, I think my first hurricane and I went to buy ammo for my first US gun and was told I could not buy it.
After that hurricane, I learned to have a reserve for times like that.
