General Bill by Ingoglia
Issuance of Licenses to Carry Concealed Weapons or Firearms: Requires DACS to maintain an online application process for issuance of licenses & prohibiting it from arbitrarily or subjectively restricting access; provides for award of reasonable costs & attorney fees in successful actions against DACS to enforce specified provisions.
Needs no explanation: Don’t mess with the CWL website. Marion Hammer from NRA / Unified Sportsmen of Florida waived in favor of the bill. Luis Valdez gave a quick but very insightful testimony also approving the bill. And the Hypocrite of the Day award goes to Representative Gottlieb (D) who opposed the bill but confessed to have a Concealed Weapons Permit and allegedly supports the Second Amendment.
Reported favorable 10-6 along party lines. And the next stop should be the Agriculture & Natural Resources Appropriations Subcommittee.
