Two Second Amendment groups and a Palm Beach County gun owner have filed a federal lawsuit challenging a Florida law that bans people from openly carrying firearms.
Gun Owners of America, the Gun Owners Foundation and Richard Hughes filed the complaint August 6 against St. Lucie County Sheriff Keith Pearson, the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Department, 19th Judicial Circuit State Attorney Thomas Bakkedahl and the State Attorney’s Office for the 19th Judicial Circuit, which includes St. Lucie, Indian River, Martin and Okeechobee counties.
