If this passes, I will be selling my property in Okeechobee! The property my wife and I saved up to buy for many many years!

I know the feeling. I've lived here most of my life. I've watched this state go from one of the first to make it easy to get a concealed carry permit to making it a felony to possess or purchase a bump stock and prohibiting the purchase of ANY firearm by 18-20 year old adults.(Courtesy of Republican Governor Rick Scott and a Republican controlled state legislature )

This ban hasn't gotten enough signatures yet to make it on the ballot but they have 2 years. And we have 2 years to stop it. Stay tuned and don't panic yet.

I pray they don’t get the signatures. We found the perfect (to us) property just south of Rt.70 and east of downtown Okeechobee in the cattle land. We have been saving like crazy for the past year and a half to hopefully start building in 2020. But is this goes through we will DEFINITELY be putting the property up for sale.

It will be heartbreaking for us and we’ll have to start looking again fora nice 10 acre parcel SC or maybe Georgia, but we wanted the ability to grow food year round and raise some farm animals.

Please GOD, let the people of Florida come to their senses and see what the Second Amendment was put into our Bill of Right for.
