Announcement from Florida Carry:

Florida Carry Wields a Blazing Sword
Daytona Beach, FL, 2/20/17:
Florida Carry is proud to announce that it has appointed Erin Palette to the position of Diversity Outreach Coordinator within its organization. Ms. Palette’s charity, Operation Blazing Sword, was founded in the wake of the Orlando Pulse terror attacks and seeks to pair friendly firearm instructors with LGBTQ people who wish to learn how to safely own and operate a firearm for self-defense. Sean Caranna, Executive Director of Florida Carry, said that “I believe the future of the Second Amendment depends on educating people that gun owners do not fit in to a single stereotype. By appointing Erin Palette to this position, I want to show the LGBTQ community that they are welcome with us and that we will fight for all Americans’ rights to defend themselves from violence, terror, and hate crimes.” Ms. Palette added, “I am thrilled to be able to use Florida Carry’s platform and resources to carry the message that ‘The Second Amendment Is For You, Too’ to my siblings-in-arms — and those siblings not yet in arms — into a community formerly not sympathetic to the right to keep and bear arms. Partnering with Florida Carry is a mutually beneficial arrangement: Operation Blazing Sword can more effectively communicate its message of education, and Florida Carry will reap the benefit of new members.” Mr. Caranna concluded, “I am excited at the prospect of being able to grow both of these pro-Second Amendment organizations.” Florida Carry, Inc, is a nonprofit, non-partisan, grassroots organization dedicated to advancing the fundamental civil right of all Floridians to keep and bear arms for self defense.
