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…

"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."

"On cross-examination, he acknowledged that he stuck his phone about six inches (15 centimeters) from Colie's face while the translate app repeated the phrase 'Hey dips---, stop thinking about my sparkle' in English and Spanish." apnews.com/article/youtub…
"Colie backed away from the 6-foot-5 Cook (196 cm), who kept advancing toward Colie even as Colie said 'no' and 'stop' and pushed Cook's arm away. Then, Cook said, when the two were separated by a small distance, Colie pulled out an handgun and shot him in the abdomen."

3) They ban guns on public transportation, preventing people without cars from carrying anywhere past walking distance
4) They require live-fire training, making it difficult for people without nearby ranges to get permits (especially combined with #3)
5) They require multiple non-family references, preventing people with anti-gun friends from getting permits
