Florida Deputy Threatens to Shoot Concealed Carry Permit Holder in the Back During Traffic Stop

Joe Wright

"Land of the Fee and Home of the Slave" has rarely been more appropriate than the following video from Florida.

Citrus County Florida Deputy Andy Cox threatens to shoot concealed carry licensee for lawfully carried handgun & then arrests him for accidental exposure. (Source)



According to usacarry.com, the gentleman harassed and terrorized in this video would be subjected to the following fees and conditions in order to obtain and use his permit. Please read the requirements below and determine for yourself if Deputy Andy Cox was correct in his interpretation and treatment of this concealed weapon permit holder.NICS/Background Check:
There is a background check but not NICS. Your permit is currently issued by the Department of Agriculture which is not a law enforcement agency, and therefore cannot do the NICS check required by federal law. Only “law enforcement agencies” can access NICS, and therefore the federal exemption that normally applies to concealed weapon permits, does not apply to those issued in Florida. 
Permit Valid For:
Permit valid for seven (7) years from date of issue. 

Cost:
$112

Requirements:
All paperwork for your permit may be requested via mail for free:
