Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried on Tuesday suspended concealed carry weapons permits for Floridians arrested for involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

“The deeply disturbing events that occurred at our nation’s Capitol on Jan. 6 were sedition, treason and domestic terrorism — and those individuals involved in the insurrection must be held accountable for attempting to subvert our democratic process,” Fried said.

“Since charges began being filed, we are using our lawful authority to immediately suspend the licenses of 22 individuals involved in the storming of the U.S. Capitol. This is an ongoing effort, and as charges and sentences continue in the wake of this despicable attack, we will further suspend and revoke any additional licenses granted to insurrectionists.”

And legally yes, she can suspend licenses but she cannot revoke them just yet, no matter how much she would love to. For that, she needs a conviction and we are not even close to that.

Florida Statutes 790.06 (3)

The department shall, upon notification by a law enforcement agency, a court, or the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and subsequent written verification, suspend a license or the processing of an application for a license if the licensee or applicant is arrested or formally charged with a crime that would disqualify such person from having a license under this section, until final disposition of the case.

There is no doubt that the FBI contacted FDLE regarding pressing charges against Florida “Insurrectos” so it is their duty follow the law and notify the Queen of Tropical Botox about them.

There is no doubt she is too gleeful about finally striking once against Florida’s CWL after all this time in office. And it is disturbing but not unexpected that she hitched her little red wagon to this imbecilic insurrection joke as a way to prop her failing chances to run as Democratic Candidate for Florida’s Governorship.

But I want to remind everyone that she is where she is because she was allowed to be voted in. She ran with the hint of a promise of legalizing pot while the rest ignored her.

Elections have consequences.

  1. Good thing that I wasn’t in DC then. Whew!

    What a bee-atch. (Sorry about the ad hominem.)

  2. You’re right Miguel, but like I said, she may have done her job within the confines of the law, but boasting about it online is a very bad and partisan look.

    And you’re right, gun owners need to make her go bye-bye next election.

  3. If anyone who participated in the Jan 6th protests were truly dangerous enough to justify suspending their legal ability to carry a gun, then they would also be in jail.

    1. Indeed. What are these 22 actually charged with? As I recall, a fair number of the 1/6 charges are for misdemeanors like trespassing.

  4. Insurrection.
    They keep using that word.
    I do not think it means what they think it means.
