* Marion County rarely generates national attention. But that all changes when your county commission announces that, upon further, uh, reflection, they will re-hoist the Confederate flag in front of a prominent government building. It had been taken down last month in the outrage aftermath of the Charleston mass murders.
* Florida Carry Inc. is still taking its best Second Amendment shot, so to speak. The gun rights group maintains that its favorite amendment supersedes a Florida law that bans firearms from state university housing. The case is now in front of the 1st District Court of Appeal in Tallahassee.
“All we are saying is that the right to possess a firearm in one’s home is fundamental,” said Florida Carry attorney Lesley McKinney. “Regardless of where one’s home is, it’s still their home.”
The official University of Florida response to heat-packing homebodies: “If you feel strongly that you want your child or an adult student feels they want a weapon, they can live in non-university housing.”
Next case.
