Florida [Palm Beach Post] … the Florida state senate approved a bill that
will allow people fleeing from disaster to carry their firearms with
them legally. The bill ensures that what happened during the
Hurricane Katrina disaster in Louisiana circumstance where national
guard and local law enforcement went house-to-house collecting
firearms and confiscated firearms from people leaving the area by
motor vehicle or boat – clearly a Second Amendment violation.
President GW Bush did nothing about it and the media ignored it. The
bill is heading for final passage in the House that gives people
permission to carry firearms without a concealed weapons permit for
the first 48 hours following a mandatory evacuation order. Once
citizens are housed in a shelter, firearm carry policies apply.
People will have to find refuge other than schools and public
buildings if they intend to bring their firearms with them because of
the no tolerance policies of those places.
