In Florida, there are two ways a public official can get into serious trouble – guns and public records. Florida has powerful statutes regarding firearms and the public’s right to official records, and Okeechobee Police Chief Donald Hagan seems hellbent of violating all of them.
If a local official, or officials as in the case of Okeechobee, enact their own firearm rules, they violate the state preemption statute, which only allows the legislature to regulate arms.
