For Immediate Release:
FLORIDA and NATIONAL GUN RIGHTS UNDER ATTACK
Florida Carry was formed to protect, defend, and expand your self-defense rights, and has grown since 2010 to become Florida’s largest independent grassroots organization dedicated to that goal. We, unlike the national organizations, are focused on Florida, and Floridians. But we need YOUR help, NOW more than ever.
There are currently multiple bills in the Florida legislature which will, if enacted, will repeal the patient firearm protection act, gut "stand your ground", immunity from prosecution for people who must act in defense of themselves and their families, and will restore local government's ability to ban firearms at local government buildings and parks. We have fought hard to get these protections enacted for Florida's gun owners, and we cannot allow those efforts to be destroyed.
We know that for most of us money is tight. The board members of Florida Carry are all unpaid volunteers, who dedicate valuable time and expertise to the organization outside of our normal day-to-day jobs. That's time we could be spending with our families. But we made the commitment from day one that fighting for our rights, and yours, are worth it. We're betting that you think your rights are worth something as well.
For the price of two movie tickets, $25 per year, you can be a sustaining member in Florida Carry, and help us help you retain your fundamental human right to self-defense. Other membership levels are available as well. Sustaining members and above will receive a membership card, a quarterly newsletter, and an official Florida Carry bumper sticker.
So please ask yourself the questions: “Is my right to bear arms worth actively supporting?”, “Is my right to self-defense worth $25 a year?” If the answer is yes, then please, join Florida Carry now! See our website at www.FloridaCarry.org or call us at 850-270-7486 for more information.
Florida Carry was honored to be invited to help form the National Coalition to Stop the Gun Ban, joining forces with thirty-six national and state firearms rights organizations in a common goal – No compromise on gun ban legislation and executive orders. What affects the nation, affects Florida as well. The Second Amendment is under attack. Whether a sportsman, collector, competitive shooter, recreational shooter, or self-defense advocate, your right to keep and bear arms is in the gravest danger it has faced in decades.

"Use of Deadly Force in Defense of a Person; Repeals provisions relating to home protection & use of deadly force, which created presumption of fear of death or great bodily harm in certain circumstances & provided that there is no duty to retreat & has the right to stand one's ground & meet force with force in certain circumstances; conforms provisions."

http://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill...Text/Filed/PDF
"Major changes to the law in the bill proposal submitted Tuesday morning included:
"Requiring, rather than authorizing, a law enforcement agency to investigate the use of force under certain circumstances"
"Deleting the provision that prohibits a law enforcement agency from arresting a person for using force under certain circumstances"
"Deleting the provisions that make justifiable use of force available to an aggressor who initially provokes the use of force against himself or herself"
"Requiring each law enforcement agency within the state to monthly report to the department all incidents and cases in which a claim regarding the justifiable use of force is raised."
Im sure Bill Nelson will be sucking on all of them !
