Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier issued guidance to police and prosecutors on Monday, advising them that the state’s law prohibiting open carry is no longer enforceable.

Uthmeier’s memorandum to law enforcement comes after an appeals court ruled last week that Florida’s decadeslong ban on open carry violates the Constitution, citing as part of its basis a 2022 U.S. Supreme Court ruling regarding Second Amendment rights known as New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen.
