“I repeat, I do not equate “having it nearby” with “using”. Do you?”

Yes, current law says if you have a firearm in your possession it counts. Having one in your car for example during the commission of a crime, e.g. speeding.

Florida law is 10, 20, life. Automatic sentence for crimes with firearms in the possession of the criminal.

You’re splitting hairs. You know the gun grabbers will use any underhanded tactic available.

My whole purpose is to expose underhanded tactics and restore COTUS 2A to what it once was-- or make it even stronger, with severe penalties for any official who violates it.

I seek information so that I don't commit errors which damage my credibility with those who might otherwise be convinced. I ask questions and "split hairs" in order to drill down to the most accurate information possible.

Which leads to my next questions:

How many Floridians have been convicted for armed speeding?

What were the sentences?

Were they eligible for parole at any time prior to completion?
