While I am totally opposed to warning shots, I do support this bill. It is a shame that they conflated warning shots and brandishing, but that is the legislature for you.

Bearing arms explicitly means being able to show someone your weapon, or even taking aim with or without firing. It is stupid that current FL law requires you to shoot someone to ensure you are not prosecuted by the state persecutors.

Defensive display should be legal every where if one can prevent or stop a crime by merely showing that one is armed.

Seems like a good idea, the left hates the idea because it shows the usefulness of being armed.

Warning shots most of the time a bad idea. I know of a couple of times where they were used and the subject complied and wasn’t shot.

It takes a very special set of circumstances to considered them. One just can’t be popping rounds off into the air hoping for the best.
