Show Notes
Floridas Attorney General James Uthmeier now argues that the states ban on felons possessing firearms is unconstitutional for non-violent offenders. This opinion emerged in the case of Christopher Morgan, convicted in Pennsylvania for carrying a gun without a license, who was arrested in Florida for the same offense. Gun rights advocates praise Uthmeiers stance, as he seeks to restore self-defense rights for non-violent offenders. Initially defending the ban, Uthmeiers office later confessed error and asked for Morgans conviction to be reversed. He is now filing a new brief with historical evidence supporting limits only on dangerous felons. Floridas gun rights restoration process is slow, often taking over a decade, while the federal government has recently restored rights for some old cases.
