Follow the links below to watch the YouTube video of some of the
testimony before the Florida House Judiciary Committee on Thursday, March 17,
2014, as they consider a bill that would add, during a forced evacuation and
state of emergency, to the exceptions that already exist to allow carrying a
concealed firearm, without a permit.
The bill is HB-209, “Firearms During Mandatory Evacuation” and
is sponsored by Rep. Heather Fitzenhagen, and others.
When called to speak before the audience, the Florida Sheriff’s
Association advocate said that the Association supports the 2nd Amendment to
the United States Constitution, “But, in our opinion, there is a difference
between owning a firearm and carrying one concealed on your person.”
A Florida National Guard spokesman, standing in for General
Titshaw of St Augustine, said that the citizen military organization supports
the bill, as written, as did the citizen activist group, “Florida Carry”, and
the advocacy organization National Rifle Association.
The final vote on the bill by the House Judiciary Committee was
17-1. The 12 Republican committee members and 5 of the 6 Democrats voted to
support the bill. However, the companion bill in the Senate has been
temporarily postponed by the panel twice. On Tuesday, April 1, at 3:00 p.m.,
the Military and Veterans Affairs, Space, and Domestic Security Committee of
the Florida Legislature meets to consider a bill allowing people to carry
concealed weapons without a permit when complying with a mandatory evacuation.
The committee meets in room 37 of the Senate building.

If I'm not mistaken, doesn't it read : " the right to keep (OWN) and bear (CARRY) arms"
No mixing of words there that can be misinterpreted in any way. What say you?
John, I just got off the phone with the Florida Sheriffs Association in Tallahassee and the lady on the phone tolde me, that that there is confusion that is causing this disinfo. A bill was introduced in Florida to allow people to carry their guns with them during an evacuation and it was misunderstood by a few who spread disinfo. If passed, the bill would require all gun owners who wish to take their firearms with them during a bug out to have a CCW. It's no big deal. Also, she said, and I agreed with her, if they were taking guns in Connecticut, we would have heard about it on the news by now, because there would be a lot of dead people on both sides. I beg you to quit feading the DAMN FEAR!!!!!!
All this angst about "FIREARMS". Anybody out there in NESARA-land actually know what a "FIREARM" is.
Let me help out:
It helps when the Public knows the definition of the "Terms" (not words) that our representatives are using to author statutes, codes and regulations.
So how is the "term" firearm defined in the "CODE". One can start by going to:
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text
In the "Quick" search by citation - enter 26 into the box next to the word "Title" and enter the number 5845 into the box next to the word "Section" then click "GO" This is what one should see. Below is ONLY part (a):
"For the purpose of this chapter—
(a) Firearm
The term “firearm” means
(1) a shotgun having a barrel or barrels of less than 18 inches in length;
(2) a weapon made from a shotgun if such weapon as modified has an overall length of less than 26 inches or a barrel or barrels of less than 18 inches in length;
(3) a rifle having a barrel or barrels of less than 16 inches in length;
(4) a weapon made from a rifle if such weapon as modified has an overall length of less than 26 inches or a barrel or barrels of less than 16 inches in length;
(5) any other weapon, as defined in subsection (e);
(6) a machinegun;
(7) any silencer (as defined in section 921 of title 18, United States Code); and
(8) a destructive device. The term “firearm” shall not include an antique firearm or any device (other than a machinegun or destructive device) which, although designed as a weapon, the Secretary finds by reason of the date of its manufacture, value, design, and other characteristics is primarily a collector’s item and is not likely to be used as a weapon."
If one wants to read the rest of the definition goto the link posted above.
Do not make the mistake of assuming (ASS [out of] U [and] ME) one knows the definition of the terms used in the Bill/Document !!!
If one has in their possession a pistol, rifle and/or shotgun (with the exception as noted in the definition above)
THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIREARM.!!!
