New Florida preemption bill targets unwritten local gun rules

While Florida already has a firearms preemption law on the books that prohibits localities from imposing any gun control laws that are more restrictive than state law, a number of cities in the state have tried to ignore state statute over the past couple of years by imposing unwritten rules that don’t appear on the books.
