California Right To Carry
Regular Member
Yesterday, April 8th, the Florida Supreme Court granted the motion by the NRA to enter the case as an Amicus in the Norman v. Florida Open Carry case, ostensibly in support of Norman.
I emailed the NRA lawyers asking them, rhetorically, if their Amicus brief was going to read like Act III, Scene 2 of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar ("I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.") only in reverse. Which is to say that the purpose of the NRA brief is to derail Norman's case.
We should know fairly soon when the NRA's Amicus brief is filed.
The NRA will not be participating in oral arguments.
There are now two Amici in this case and both are also Amici in the Peruta v. San Diego/Richards v. Prieto en banc appeal out of California:
Everytown for Gun Safety
National Rifle Association
In California, Everytown for Gun Safety filed an Amicus Brief arguing that there is no Second Amendment right to carry firearms in public be they carried openly or concealed.
In California, the National Rifle Association, to which its state organization the CRPA is a Plaintiff in the Peruta case, filed an Amicus brief in support of banning Open Carry.
In Florida, the Amicus brief from Everytown for Gun Safety filed an Amicus Brief saying that Florida's law banning Open Carry and providing for shall-issue concealed carry permits is all fine and dandy.
In Florida, the National Rifle Association....
Well, we'll just have to wait and see what the National Rifle Association has to say in its Florida Amicus Brief.
