    Why do we need laws against standing next to golf courses with guns? It’s already illegal to shoot the president.

      He didn’t shoot the president. He was just exercising his 2nd Amendment rights, you commie socialist!

        Florida has a dumbass law where you can open carry while hunting and fishing. Dude could just say he was hunting anacondas or whatever they kill in Florida

              Gators, sharks, snakes, panthers, snapping turtles, wild boar, FloridaMan…

              Also, that’s like the least insane thing about Florida. They banned open carry in public but allow permit-free(!) concealed carry. Most states allow open carry and require permits for concealed.

      They don’t have enough evidence to get an attempted assassination charge, let alone a conviction. So they want to throw other crimes at the guy.

      Standing by or on a golf course carrying a loaded weapon in itself is not a crime, depending on various details, and the state.
