NEW: Florida v Weston (FL state court): Florida appeals court reverses trial court judge that struck down many of the state's firearm preemption law penalties in 2019. 1dca.org/content/downlo…
"We hold that the statutory penalty provisions disputed on appeal are valid and enforceable."
"Lest we overlook the fundamentally important broader context in which the present issues arise, we observe that, implicitly, Appellees sought to test the boundaries of the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution..."
"Before we conclude, we note that both sides have failed to challenge on appeal some of the trial court’s rulings adverse to them."
"We hold that neither discretionary-function nor legislative immunity shields local governments and officials from the challenged statutes. We hold that these statutes are valid and enforceable. We reverse the judgment on appeal as stated herein."
