Yet another common sense gun law for the Sunshine State.

It's actually a good thing. It prevents local jurisdictions from enacting gun controls that are stricter than what the state has. Up until this point, many local jurisdictions had laws preventing concealed carry in parks or different areas. It's almost impossible to know the local laws in every different jurisdiction that you travel in and you can inadvertently break the law. One example was that one jurisdiction wouldn't let you carry a concealed weapon below the waist. If you were carrying in an ankle holster or thunderwear you were breaking the law.

Indeed. I actually wasn't being sarcastic - just ripping on lefties who use the term "common sense gun laws."

True common sense gun laws are part of what keeps me in Florida.

all those local laws were invalid but left on the books as a form of legal harassment when a cop or commissioner needed them.

The key with this law is the required repeal. This neutralizes the leave it on the books just in case or as a oops law.
