Florida cities, counties must take local gun laws off books
New state law bans local gun regulations

Orange County employees have started removing "no firearms" signs at county parks, and soon they'll probably black out the same words on brochures. In Groveland, leaders recently erased from the books an ordinance that banned firing a gun into the air.
Across Florida, similar scenes are being played out as cities and counties scour their ordinances to get rid of gun regulations by Oct. 1. That's when a tough new state law, backed by the National Rifle Association, will forbid city and county governments from enacting or enforcing local gun-control regulations.
I read that a few weeks back. I was glad to see it
Very nice, I read it and saw it on the news a few weeks ago!!!
Does this mean we'll be able to discharge firearms on our own property in Pinellas county
as the county will no longer be able to forbid it?
Thats what I gather from it, that the state makes all the regulations now.
