Conceal Carry Gun Owners Revealed

August 30th, 2011 by flanews

The lobbying efforts of some of Florida’s law enforcement officers went too far. A bill to loosen conceal carry restrictions drew dozens of police officers and sheriff’s deputies to Tallahassee this past legislative session. They said the bill would make the state more dangerous and printed pictures of people they believed were involved in criminal activity and still had gun permits. NRA Lobbyist Marion Hammer says revealing the ID of Florida gun permit holder is illegal.

“They access that data and they use it to lobby against the people who pay their salaries. That’s wrong. That’s dangerous,” said Hammer.

The allegations point to a lobbyist for the Orange County Sheriff’s office. The state attorney in that area and FDLE have decided not to pursue charges. Hammer says just because the lobbyist wasn’t charged doesn’t mean he didn’t’ break the law.
