The right to bear arms in Florida

The Constitution of the United States gives you the right to bear arms, but that right is in danger of being deprived of you in most cases. For a variety of reasons residents of Florida have had their weapons seized. Many residents were charged with gun crime while their firearms were being transported. Florida allows residents to carry a firearm, securely locked into their transport vehicle. Many times police officers misunderstand the law and charge a gun crime on the individual. You are granted the right to possess a legal firearm.0
