Ben Bullard wrote for Personal Liberty Digest 10 June 2013: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Republican Florida Governor Rick Scott has suspended the sheriff of the States least-populous county after he allegedly set free a man whod been arrested for possessing a weapon without a permit. Nick Finch, sheriff of Liberty County near the States Alabama-Georgia border, faces a 3rd-degree felony charge for official misconduct after evidently destroying or altering the paper trail that began when one of his deputies brought in a motorist who had two handguns in his car. The motorist, Floyd Parrish, didnt have a concealed-carry permit and was subsequently charged with carrying a concealed deadly weapon. Car carry is legal in Florida for those without a conceal-carry permit, but the law stipulates such firearms must be securely encased or not readily accessible for immediate use two stipulations which Parrish allegedly didnt meet when he was pulled over in Liberty County. Parrish stayed in jail until Sheriff Finch arrived, accompanied by the suspects brother. Finch allegedly spoke to both men about the incident before ordering that the charges be dropped and Parrish be released. According to the JCFloridian, Finch allegedly told the deputy whod arrested Parrish that he believed in 2nd Amendment rights and instructed jail staff to return his confiscated firearms. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- article
My gosh! An honest citizen not properly storing his handguns in his own car. This is as serious as trick-or-treating without a licence.
