Florida will begin adding gun storage safety tips when it mails concealed weapons licenses to its residents, Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried said at a news conference Wednesday.
It will encourage people to keep their guns locked, unloaded and stored in a separate place than ammunition, among other tips. The goal is to prevent accidental shootings and to keep guns out of the hands of children, said Fried, who is a gun owner.
“We believe in increasing education about these simple safety measures will help save lives,” said Fried, a Democrat whose department oversees concealed weapons licensing.
Democratic state Rep. Dan Daley said the Republican-dominated Legislature has failed to take up gun safety measures.
“Nobody’s coming for your guns guns. I think we just want to be safe and take a step in the right direction,” said Daley, who is a gun owner.

Meanwhile, there are road rage related, running gun battles up and down I75. Lots of luck with the “don’t do stupid sh*t” letters. It’s the least we can possibly do … literally.

100% a virtue signaling waste of time, money, and paper.
Totally unnecessary because the subject is hammered into the licensee’s heads very throughly in the pre licensure training required to obtain the CC license.
Excellant fake virtue signaling there leftys.
Honestly Govorner Ron its time to remove the CC Permits from the pervue of the elected office of Agriculture and put it under one of The Govorner’s Agency’s. You can wait for your reelection to do this but mark it on your calandar.

Just stick with the ‘originalist” reading of the Second Amendment, and ban all guns that weren’t available at the time the Constitution was written. Should be simple, but it’s almost like corrupt SCOTUS is lying about “originalism”….
