The first week of Florida’s legislative interim committee sessions has ended, and FLGR was on the ground in Tallahassee to set the tone leading up to the 2026 legislative session.
On Wednesday, October 8, FLGR Executive Director Logan Edge made it clear that pro-gun Floridians would not accept any restrictions on their Open Carry rights, despite the rumors that Senate President Albritton is cozying up to the Sheriff’s Association to do just that.
“It felt like the first day of school, where people were still unorganized and finding their way around,” Logan explained.
During one meeting, staff confirmed whispers of this restrictive bill but noted no text has surfaced, and it likely hasn’t been filed as of this writing.
In Florida, bills can be filed until the final week before the legislative session begins.
A tight timeline means gun owners must relentlessly pressure the legislature to keep their hands off Open Carry.
FLGR staff will personally deliver every petition to Tallahassee to show the legislature that pro-gun Floridians won’t accept undercutting the recent Open Carry court win.
This recent court ruling hands gun rights activists an unmatched leverage.
Florida gun owners must wield it ruthlessly.
With midterms fast approaching, the Tallahassee swamp must know that trying to weaken the recent victories Floridians won in the courts comes with a steep political price.
Plan of Attack for Next Week
Next week, FLGR will dive deeper into the depths of the Tallahassee swamp, taking more critical meetings to unearth intel on this potential anti-Open Carry bill.
The voices of gun rights activists in these discussions are critical, so get involved by signing FLGR’s petition to defend Open Carry and repeal “Red Flag” gun confiscation law.
