Florida Goes Full Cowboy 🤠

Open carry is officially here in Florida, and people are losing it. Some cheer like it’s Freedom Week, others clutch their kombucha and whisper about the “Wild West apocalypse.”

A court struck down Florida’s ban on openly carrying guns, and Attorney General James Uthmeier basically said, “Go ahead, wave that pistol around—don’t make us arrest law-abiding cowboys at Publix.”

Now everyone’s picturing duels in the Target parking lot and shootouts over who grabbed the last bottle of SPF 50. But let’s be honest: Florida has always been Florida. Guns? Check. Sunshine? Check. Chaos? Triple check.

Fun Fact: Only about 35% of Floridians actually own guns. Which means the rest of us just get to live in a state where one out of three neighbors suddenly thinks they’re Clint Eastwood on a Monday morning.

So here’s the split:

👉 Some folks are terrified, convinced crime will skyrocket with pistols on every hip.

👉 Others are celebrating like it’s the Red Light Special, arguing that criminals will think twice before messing with an armed state.

So the real question is… which train are you on? The “safer streets through firepower” express, or the “yee-haw chaos incoming” rollercoaster?
