Last week we asked you to contact your legislators through the RTS system and you successfully convinced the House and Senate Judiciary Committees to approve both HB 2119 (automatic restoration of civil rights for 1st time and non-violent offenders) and SB 1125 (affirming the right to possess and transport firearms) Keep up the great work!

We have a Republican supermajority in the legislature with a pro-gun governor at the helm. Yet, Constitutional Carry is languishing. The constant excuse that many so-called pro-gun Republicans tell me is that the tourism industry would be harmed if Florida passed Constitutional Carry. You know that is a lie and so do I.  As Gun Owners of America's Florida State
