Anyways, *AWESOME BREAKING FUCKING FLORIDA 2A NEWS* :
“Florida attorney general skips defending law banning open carry ”
It looks like Florida may get open carry the no muss, no fuss, no hassle method, by simply not choosing to defend a legal challenge to Florida’s current ban on open carry, read all about it :

Read the article, Politico is seriously pissed-off about this. I just may have to order me a North American Arms belt-buckle holster for ‘Tiny’ to celebrate…
*Snicker* 😉
Geoff PR,
I would not get very optimistic until the federal appeals circuit which has jurisdiction over Florida issues a permanent injunction and the Florida Attorney General agrees to the injunction.
You are correct.
But if they do, I’ll buy a Ruger Vaquero and an El Paso Saddlery Pancake to toast it.
Not a huge proponent of open carry but there are days that I would.
Specialist38,
There are situations where open carry can be advantageous. My most common open carry situation is when I am camping, hiking, fishing, and hunting. I like to keep a large revolver chambered in .44 Magnum on a chest rig which is all-but-impossible to conceal.
Another time that I want the option for open carry is when it is very hot outside and a tank top is the order of the day.
Yet another situation where open carry is arguably a good idea: multiple people on a volunteer security team at a church or some other event.
The final situation where open carry is nice is during Second Amendment rallies where, if you think about it, open carry is an expression of free speech.
“I would not get very optimistic until the federal appeals circuit which has jurisdiction over Florida issues a permanent injunction and the Florida Attorney General agrees to the injunction.”
The fact that A.G. Moody agreed to not not defend the challenge implies she’s cool with the injunction in question.
Word down here is the A.G. has eyes on running for Florida governor one day, and what a slick way to prove her 2A rights chops to the right wing down here.
Red meat for the base electing her, so to say… 😉
If air rifle full-auto is legal, and there are existing .50 cal. air rifles, does this mean with a backpack ‘pony’ bottle of CO2, bliss is at hand?
Yep!
Geoff PR,
I am almost certain that a “gun” (in the most general sense of that word) must be air powered and .177 caliber or smaller in order to be full auto and legal without going through the National Firearms Act of 1934 hoops.
Note that I am not an attorney and the above is NOT legal advice.
This is not a new concept. Full auto air BB guns have been around for over 50 years. I remember back in the day going to the carnival and shooting full auto BB guns that looked exactly like the a Thompson sub machine gun. They were connected to an air tank by a hose that was supplied by an air compressor behind the shooting gallery. You got a 100 BB’s to try to completely shoot a star out of the middle of a target. The star was about 3 inches across and damn hard to do.
“I remember back in the day going to the carnival and shooting full auto BB guns that looked exactly like the a Thompson sub machine gun.”
Same here, the BBs were lead birdshot, likely recycled many, many times…
I would probably purchase one of these if there was a fairly simple/easy way to power it from a conventional air compressor rather than CO2 tanks.
A “conventional” air compressor, such as one you may find in the average residential garage, will be hard pressed to supply sufficient pressure and volume of air needed to do much more than shoot out the star at 15 feet. Not that it isn’t fun–I have one of the AR styles, and it is fun. CO2 cartridges run 800-900 psi at room temp (that actually applies to larger tanks also), and the large caliber PCP rifles that Geoff mentions are at ~2500 psi. They require a special hand pump, expensive compressor, or scuba tank for pressurizing. There have been a couple on the market that have a special high pressure hand pump system built into the rifle, sorta like a Crosman 760 that’s been Hulkified. But they are not full-auto, and the only recent model had mechanical problems and I believe has been dropped.

I really wanted that Seneca Aspen to work. In .22 or .25, it would be a useful TEOTWAWKI hunting implement: small game capable, semi-auto for 15-20 shots before needing a refill (or, simply pump 4-5 times between shots after fully pressurizing to keep it full indefinitely), and nothing else ever needed again except pellets and a few drops of oil now and then, for $300 plus scope plus ammo. Way cool idea, but they didn’t hold up.
hawkeye,
Thank you for the follow-up information.
